⚡Portfolio Spotlight⚡ A 2024 Tech Deployment Track graduate, Cache Energy continues to demonstrate its long duration #energystorage solution in Alaska – now with a successful cold-weather test in Prudhoe Bay. We’re proud to support innovative startups addressing Alaska’s energy challenges, and we can’t wait to see how Cache’s technology can help strengthen Alaska businesses and communities. https://lnkd.in/guvmMsNS Read more about Cache’s first Alaska demonstration project ➡️ https://lnkd.in/guJVv-UC Learn more about the 41 companies in the Launch Alaska Portfolio ➡️ https://lnkd.in/g2wpa-2g
As part of our ongoing commitment to advancing reliable and resilient energy storage, we’ve successfully shipped Cache’s fully charged energy storage material to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, where it has been exposed to extreme winter conditions, with temperatures plunging as low as -40°C for the past six months. What’s particularly remarkable is that this material has been stored in a standard, off-the-shelf container, with no additional insulation. This real-world test underscores our capability to store energy inter-seasonally, even under some of the harshest conditions on Earth. At Cache, we are driven by a commitment to simplicity, reliability, and resiliency of our energy storage solution. #CacheEnergy #Reliability #Resilience
