Enter your facility's address into our platform, and bam! After a few minutes of crunching thousands of data points, you will have an automated configuration of the optimal energy and battery storage system. Let's go! 😆 #energytransition #onsiteenergy #solarenergy #energystorage

We shed light on the uncertainty around tax credits in this week's podcast. In VECKTA fashion, we modeled what a solar and battery storage system would look like without a 30% tax credit. Here are the results: First off - the results are positive. We still see awesome savings and emissions benefits. We looked at a commercial facility in California using our configuration module in the VECKTA platform. With a 30% tax credit, the optimal system is a 1.7MW solar array with 6MWh of battery storage. The cost is $6M. Without a tax credit, the optimal system is slightly smaller to preserve the economics at 1.4MW with 3.3MWh of battery storage. The cost is $4M. Here are the financials: We see a slight knock, but the business case is still strong with $25M in savings over 25 years and the system is paid off in year 7. 🚀 NVP: $4M --> $2.7M IRR: 19% --> 14% Simple payback: 4 years --> 7 years 25-year savings: $28M --> $25M Listen to the episode for a deeper dive.

Heading to SXSW? Join us for a panel presented by Catalyst by Wellstar on health system-backed startups driving sustainable outcomes with VECKTA's CEO Gareth Evans, CEO of Bee Downtown Leigh-Kathryn Bonner and Managing Partner of VoLo Earth Ventures Eric Riesenberg. The connection between climate and health outcomes is clear. This engaging panel will illuminate how one of the largest health systems in Georgia is investing in startups that are cultivating and powering a more sustainable and healthier future. Hear from the visionary leaders of VECKTA, Bee Downtown, and VoLo Earth Ventures about how they have successfully partnered with leading health systems, non-profits & corporations to support sustainable agriculture, promote onsite energy systems like microgrids, and accelerate progress toward net zero greenhouse gas emissions.  Key Takeaways:  - Successful approaches for cleantech startups to gain investment from & pilot with complex, highly regulated organizations like large health systems.    - Metrics of success ranging from local sustainable agriculture efforts to evaluating large-scale renewable energy projects across multiple sites. - Cleantech trends and innovation opportunities The panel is on March 9, 10-11 AM. #sustainability #energytransition #healthcare #startups

In this week's podcast episode, we discuss the biggest takeaways from the Engage workshop with 70+ leaders from 15 major ATL corporations. Link: https://lnkd.in/e_UyQSgK #energytransition

The technology and economics are here to propel the energy transition forward. However, some hidden institutional hurdles stall real progress. A big and easy one to solve is corporate permafrost. #energytransition

We co-hosted a panel with 70+ leaders from F500 companies about the biggest opportunities they see in onsite energy and the biggest barriers they encounter to deploying at scale. The top challenge they need to solve? The most pressing challenge we heard isn't just rising energy costs - it's the unpredictability. How do you confidently forecast when your energy costs might surge 20% one year and 5% the next? Energy typically represents 5-40% of operating costs, and it's the lifeblood of operations. Yet most businesses are at the mercy of market fluctuations, making strategic planning feel like guesswork. Here's the reality: If executives could have locked in their energy costs two decades ago, they would have. Today, onsite energy generation offers exactly that opportunity - the ability to secure predictable energy costs for the next 10-30 years. #energytransition #onsiteenergy #renewablerides This isn't just about savings. It's about giving businesses the cost certainty they need to plan, grow, and thrive with confidence. Link to our podcast reviewing the biggest takeaways from the workshop in the comments.

Happy Valentine's Day! We hope you treat yourself and your loved ones to something sweet. We also couldn't help ourselves but point out the main thing we love about onsite energy. #energytransition #sustainability

After talking with 40+ Chief Sustainability Officers from leading companies about how they are managing this moment in corporate impact, our guests on this week's podcast episode realized a strong trend was emerging. Leaders spend a lot of time managing tensions internally and externally. The last few years saw waves of support for sustainability, enhanced compliance, increased regulation, and backlash. Mastering the discipline of tension management became core to their effectiveness in the organization and satisfaction with their roles. Listen to the entire episode and read the report on Trellis Group. Links are in the comments.

We are looking forward to our first time presenting at SXSW! Our CEO, Gareth Evans, will speak on two sustainability-related panels organized by Catalyst by Wellstar. Let us know what events we should not miss!
