Yesterday, we had the pleasure of hosting attendees of this week's Climate Beacon conference for a tour of our Kendall Square facility. With tours led by the Vicinity team, the attendees got an inside look at the exciting #electrification transformation going on at our facility. The team is preparing our 42MW electric boiler to enter service, and recently completed the deconstruction of a steam turbine to make room for our future industrial-scale heat pump complex. A big thank you to all who joined us for the tour and an engaging conversation on sustainability and the clean energy transition. #VicinityEnergy #ClimateBeacon #sustainability #cleanenergy

We're honored to be among the recipients of the Michigan Public Service Commission grant award for electrification and renewable energy projects. As part of the Michigan Renewable Energy and Electrification Infrastructure Enhancement and Development Grant, Vicinity's Grand Rapids operations have been awarded more than $2 million to assist with the electrification of our district energy system. The electrification process will allow us to decarbonize our operations and offer carbon-free eSteam™ to our customers across Grand Rapids. The grant program prioritized funding for infrastructure or planning projects that meet one or more of the MI Healthy Climate Plan goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transition toward economy-wide carbon neutrality. Congratulations to all of our fellow grant awardees! We're proud to be part of Michigan's clean energy future. Read more on the grant: https://bit.ly/3zV4GCs

Last week, Vicinity's Chief Commercial Officer Pamela Clark presented The Wardrobe with the Vicinity #FuturePHL award at the 7th annual SustainPHL award celebration! 🌎 Each year, #SustainPHL highlights sustainable initiatives in Philadelphia and celebrates notable community achievements. The Wardrobe is a nonprofit organization that works to eliminate clothing insecurity while curbing clothing waste. Last winter, the Vicinity team held a clothing drive for The Wardrobe in our Philadelphia office! 👚👔 The awards were hosted by The Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University, which receives Vicinity’s district steam used for heating and humidification to preserve their exhibits and artifacts. Thank you for having us, Green Philly! We're proud to support this great event that recognizes the achievements of our community. #SustainPHL #GreenPhilly #sustainabilityawards

Calling all #Lego enthusiasts! Did you know that Vicinity's Atlantic Station chilled water facility boasts several Lego minifigure heads? When the equipment needed to be repainted, the team had the idea to paint them to look like Lego minifigure heads, because the shape matches so well! #Lego #AtlantaGA

Life science companies are dedicated to cutting-edge research and developing critical innovations. Because this type of mission-critical work requires reliable energy 24/7, compared to similarly sized commercial office space, lab facilities require 10 times more energy. In our latest blog, we explore how district energy systems can empower life sciences companies to achieve their sustainability goals. By utilizing adaptable, reliable district energy, these organizations can reduce their carbon footprint while focusing on innovation and growth.
