Switched Source successfully installed and commissioned their first Phase-EQ in Florida, a new type of distribution equipment that routes power between lines to balance the load and unlock system capacity. This journey began with the 35 Mules program over three and a half years ago. 35 Mules is an innovation hub powered by FPL, a NextEra Energy company.

Switched Source was one of nine companies to each receive $500,000 grants as part of Department of Energy's Manufacture of Advanced Key Energy Infrastructure Technologies (MAKE IT) Prize Phase 1. The goal of this program is to catalyze the domestic manufacturing of critical clean energy technologies and components.

Switched Source was awarded a $1 million grant to demonstrate the Phase-EQ's ability to improve the efficiency, renewable energy hosting capacity, and reliability of the electric grid. This project will support the deployment of a Phase-EQ on the electric distribution system of NY utility company.

Switched Source was among a select number of companies announced by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) to receive an award to support projects that promote the development of a high performing smart electric grid that integrates a diverse supply of renewable energy resources, enhances overall grid performance and resiliency, and enables customers to reduce their energy costs, consumption, and environmental impacts.

The U.S. Department of Energy (ARPA-e) designed the SCALEUP Program to further commercialize disruptive energy technologies that were originally developed under previous ARPA-E research and development grants.

ARPA-E announced a new partnership with DoD's Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) to further demonstrate and validate ARPA-E derived technologies at DoD installations across the country. ESTCP targets the DoD's urgent environmental and installation energy needs to improve defense readiness, resilience, and costs. 

More than 25 utility and city thought leaders gathered this week in San Antonio, Texas for Zpryme's annual Start@ETS event. These leaders judged pitches from 19 early-stage technology companies in the smart utility and smart city spaces over the course of two days. Six finalists competed for the grand prize of overall Start@ETS champ. And the winner was.... SWITCHED SOURCE!
