Scale Microgrids

The electric grid we use today was designed by people who knew how to live without electricity.

🔊A 30-second ad during the Big Game costs about $7 million. How much does a 30-second outage cost your business? Here's a sneak peek at our ad for Sunday's game. May the most resilient team win. 🏈 (Sound up!) #microgridsaredope #energyresilience #biggame

On the same day @realDonaldTrump makes clear he intends for hyperscalers to bring their own power, we’ve posted the discussion on that very topic from DERVOS 2025 featuring: @Google @Tesla @VicShao (a legendary DER entrepreneur) @ScaleMicrogrids

Scale just surpassed $1 billion in project financing raised to date - a huge milestone that demonstrates not only the financial strength of our company but the importance of distributed energy for making energy more affordable and more resilient.⚡ businesswire.com/news/home/2025…

DERVOS 2025 is finally announced! Join us on October 17th on Governors Island for a day with 750 of locked in energ pros, founders, regulators, investors, and more. We have a really special event in store for everyone this year.

We took an new industrial site in CA off-grid with solar, batteries, and gas. Everyone said it wouldn't work. After over a year of operations: ✅ faster and cheaper than grid interconnection ✅ positive savings (net of PPA and fuel) ✅ majority clean power ✅ 99%+ uptime

Jim Duffy of @NixonPeabodyLLP, Joe Ritter of Seminole Financial Services, Daniel Forero of @ScaleMicrogrids and Cliff Chapman of @syncarpha share their insights on sponsor debt and equity trends. #NovocoEnergy

Join our unmissable upcoming webinar on the potential of powering datacenters with microgrids, ft. @duncancampbell, @kyle__cb, @hausfath, and @nanransohoff! We'll discuss their much buzzed-about research on the topic, its reception, and emerging trends. scalemicrogrids.com/opp/off-grid-s…

Stargate, the biggest proposed investment in AI data centers to date, is using solar, gas, and batteries for off-grid power. Why? It’s fast and cheap and scalable. Whitepaper vindicated. Goodbye haters.

ICYMI, @heatmap_news published a great interview with our @duncancampbell and @hausfath discussing their work proving out the extremely real, surprisingly practical, and wildly scalable potential for powering AI with massive off-grid solar data centers: heatmap.news/technology/dat…

Truly awesome to see @FootprintPrjct and @SOLARPUNKSCLUB (as seen in Rolling Stone!) showing up in a big way with solar-and-battery emergency response microgrids for wildfire relief efforts in Los Angeles. microgridknowledge.com/community-micr…

The stakes of the AI race couldn’t be higher – and a white paper from authors including Scale's @duncancampbell found that off-grid solar microgrids represent the fastest, most scalable, and surest path for American companies to secure their AI future. scalemicrogrids.com/blog/solar-mic…

Great @jeffsaintjohn read on how microgrids are enabling CA's truck fleets to electrify sooner with "bring your own power" (BYOP) solutions in the face of grid constraints - featuring our own @Tim_Victor_ on the importance of flexible interconnection: canarymedia.com/articles/ev-ch…

Friday the DOE dropped an update to its #VPP liftoff report. 🧵summarizing report, how to use it. DOE is hosting a webinar 1/15 at 9 (link below), and the @DER_Task_Force is hosting a jam session with DOE + tech companies to discuss liftoff.energy.gov/vpp/

VPPs are a key part of the solution set for “virtually” all of the major issues facing our electricity system today, including resilience - and this new VPP Liftoff report from @energy is an indispensable resource on the topic. Awesome, important work: liftoff.energy.gov/vpp/

The @ScaleMicrogrids team has built microgrids for water utilities to backup water infrastructure throughout SoCal. One pumping station lost power on Tuesday at 10pm. The microgrid has kept it running since, supporting water pressure in the region. Lots more work to do.

We’re thrilled to announce the beginning of a new era for Scale: we’re bringing in a new equity partner, @EQT, a purpose-driven global investment company that is squarely aligned with our plans for taking Scale’s growth to the next level. news.cision.com/eqt/r/eqt-to-a…

Off-grid solar-powered EV charging and data centers - and the @duncancampbell co-authored white paper (at offgridai.us) - continue to be a hot topic in 2025! axios.com/pro/climate-de…
