Great to see our portfolio company, Lightshift Energy, recently featured in Canary Media Inc. for their success in enhancing grid resiliency in Massachusetts. As we navigate this year’s active hurricane season, backup power for community facilities—especially schools—has never been more important. That’s exactly why Lightshift is developing a microgrid to support two local schools in Wakefield, MA, to ensure safe and reliable energy access in the event of unexpected outages. Read more from Jeff St. John on how Lightshift is working with Wakefield to install grid-connected battery storage.
In today’s Canary Media Inc. feature, Jeff St. John sat down with Lightshift’s co-founder Michael Herbert to hear how we’re strengthening communities through energy storage in partnership with Massachusetts Municipal Wholesale Electric Company (MMWEC) and municipal utilities across Massachusetts. We’re delivering projects where they matter most, translating to local economic development, resilience, and grid reliability. Check out our latest community-led project in Wakefield, MA to see how storage can create value through peak-shaving while also providing backup power to critical facilities: https://lnkd.in/e7AEf7Am
