Mainspring Energy

“The bottom line is that if you need power now, you can't wait for the grid and you can't wait for natural gas turbines to come online," says Khosla Ventures General Partner Samir Kaul in Bloomberg News, highlighting the rocketing demand for power from #AI, #datacenters, #electrification, and the return to #MadeInAmerica #manufacturing. Mainspring raised $258 Million and added two stellar Board members to help tackle this global opportunity to deliver reliable, fuel-flexible, affordable, low-emissions power when and where it's needed. Any fuel. Any scale. Any time. Anywhere.   #powergeneration #energyreliability #lowemissions #lineargenerators https://lnkd.in/g53HBpvS

“We should be asking: what’s a no-regret investment in today’s energy landscape?" - Mainspring CEO Shannon Miller. "The best strategies are built on flexibility—the ability to pivot as the paradigm shifts--and the goal is optimal: leverage renewables, stay grid-connected, serve utilities, and bring new infrastructure online faster.” Thanks to all the team at the S&P Global Commodity Insights Power Markets conference for the lively conversation, with co-panelists Larry Bekkedahl of Portland General Electric, Kleber Costa of The AES Corporation, Kevin Hagerty of Vicinity Energy, with moderator Mark Karl of Concentric Energy Advisors #powerresilience #infrastructure #efficientpower #lineargenerators

Great news - we’ve raised $258 Million in financing to build our linear generator business and added two new Board members!  This new round accelerates our manufacturing capacity and business growth amid rocketing global demand for reliable, affordable power. We are fortunate to have some of the top energy investors in the world. General Catalyst led the raise, joined by DCVC, Temasek, Marunouchi Innovation Partners, M&G Investments, Pictet Group, and Amazon's Climate Pledge Fund, along with Mainspring’s earlier investors including Lightrock and LGT Private Banking, Khosla Ventures, and Gates Frontier, among others. We are also thrilled to add two Board members with deep energy and tech industry operating experience – Tom Linebarger, former Chairman and CEO of global power solutions leader Cummins, and Bethany Mayer, former CEO of public technology company Ixia and former board member of Sempra.    Read the press release here: https://lnkd.in/g4N5qaBR #power #powergeneration #resilience #energyreliability #fundraise #lineargenerators #finance #AI #datacenters

Happy Friday! TGIF and ICYMI - Team Mainspring is headed to S&P Global's Power Markets conference next week to talk about The Power Plant of Tomorrow and the balancing act in achieving affordable, reliable, scalable, low-emissions power....fast! Looking forward to the conversation.

Proud to be entering this reseller agreement with the experts at OUTLIER ENERGY to bring advanced, low-emission power technology to The Bahamas. Island nations face some of the highest electric costs and greatest reliability challenges in the world. #powerreliability #affordableenergy #lineargenerators #islandnations Read about it in the Nassau Guardian: https://lnkd.in/g98-wUiq

If you're in Yosemite this week at the Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA) symposium, please join us this Thursday, April 10! Maddie Julian will discuss the benefits of diverting landfill food waste to wastewater treatment plants. Wastewater facilities have the capacity to generate renewable energy with the #biomethane emitted by this food waste. Maddie will share the economic, environmental and SB 1383 compliance benefits of converting this food waste into biogas and highlight successful collaborations between solid waste and wastewater sectors. Join us! #biogas #LinearGenerators #RenewableEnergy #SolidWaste #SWANA #wastewater

Join our Webinar with ACT Expo / ACT News on Thursday, April 17th! Mainspring's Anders Thulin will share how to unlock Reliable, Cost-Effective Energy for EV Fleets. Register here: https://lnkd.in/gcphgJsw Will electricity be there exactly when you need it — and is that timeline guaranteed, or just a hopeful estimate? Can the cost of electricity truly compete with traditional fuels? Are EVs and their energy sources genuinely cleaner than legacy engines, or are emissions just shifting upstream? And when you swap distributed gas stations for centralized charging hubs, can you trust the grid to deliver every time? Going electric isn’t simply about vehicles and chargers. It’s also essential to address and control these critical questions. Join this one-hour webinar to: ▪️ Understand grid capacity constraints—and learn how to proactively overcome this pressing challenge ▪️ Learn how the dynamic nature of EV load profiles drives up the cost of grid electricity ▪️ Explore dispatchable vs. baseload generation, and combustion vs. non-combustion technologies, to identify the ideal solution for your fleet ▪️ Discover best practices to match your fleet’s unique load profile with reliable, cost-effective power ▪️ Gain actionable insights from real-world examples, including a grid-independent drayage fleet, an electrified logistics provider, and a commercial trucking operation. #EVCharging #Microgrids #EVPower #LinearGenerators #FleetCharging #EnergyWebinar

Join us for “The Power Plant of Tomorrow” plenary discussion at the S&P Global Commodity Insights Power Markets Conference on April 15 in Las Vegas. Rocketing demand for power capacity and the need for improving reliability, predictability, and affordability are shaping the future of U.S. energy markets, fueled by trends in electrification, AI, and data center growth. Mainspring CEO and founder Shannon Miller will be on stage discussing how to best tackle the challenges and meet the opportunities with Larry Bekkedahl of Portland General Electric, Kleber Costa of The AES Corporation, and Kevin Hagerty of Vicinity Energy. Moderated by Mark Karl of Concentric Energy Advisors.
