SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — ZOME Energy Networks today announced its plans to deploy its technology strategically into the Austin energy market in an effort to help the recovery and «grid flexibility» re-building of the ERCOT and Texas energy grid.
ZOME in 2019 began its entry into the Texas market, and has contractual relationships with mid-sized and major property holding companies who are adopting ZOME’s energy management system that saves users money while also enabling the commercial building, the apartment unit, or home to become a grid responsive «market participant». Last year, after being contacted by and vetted from Austin Energy, the companies applied for together and won one of the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) multi-million dollar deployment grants.
According to the DOE, Projects funded through this program will enhance the energy efficiency of buildings and provide flexibility services to the electric grid. Many of these technologies can enable dynamic building interactions with the power grid that provide new value streams to commercial building owners.
«Testing, measurement, and verification of advanced building technologies in real-world conditions is a fundamental step in the research and development process,» said Alex Fitzsimmons, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency. «Through rigorous field validation, DOE can help de-risk and accelerate the adoption of advanced technologies that improve the energy efficiency of America’s homes, businesses, and industries.»
The project in Austin, TX consists of Austin Energy as the local utility (and grant lead) partnering with ZOME, Resideo, and the New Buildings Institute to install and evaluate the performance of a custom mesh network of thermostats, HVAC systems, and water heater controls with two-way communication and tenant remote-access capabilities in up to 7 multifamily properties and approximately 1,400 tenant units, half or more being affordable rent or low-income properties. These technologies will allow these buildings to shift their energy loads with an affordable and scalable approach to enhance their demand flexibility. If these technologies work as planned, apartment residents could save up to $120 per year on their energy bills while simultaneously the buildings themselves can act as a support buffer for the energy grid when it is under stress.
About ZOME
ZOME manages and monetizes Smart Energy for building owners, their occupants, and energy providers. ZOME operates a cloud-based software solution for the residential and commercial energy sector with a business model allowing the company, when needed, to invest in IoT equipment for building energy control and energy wholesale market bidding of curtailment. ZOME works with building owners and property-owning entities to uniquely and viably monetize energy efficiency in a recurring revenue model that is a win for building owners, energy providers, and the environment.

SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — CleanSpark, Inc. (Nasdaq: CLSK) (the «Company» or «CleanSpark»), a diversified software and services company, today announced that it has completed the strategic acquisition of Solar Watt Solutions, Inc. («Solar Watt»), a Commercial and Residential Solar and Energy Storage Developer. Based on achievement of certain performance objectives, total consideration for the transaction will be up to 477,703 shares of the Company’s common stock, and up to $3,850,000 in cash.
Solar Watt is a Carlsbad, California based company, founded in 2009 by David Watt. Solar Watt provides solar and alternative energy solutions for homeowners and commercial businesses throughout Southern California. The acquisition is expected to immediately expand and accelerate CleanSpark’s residential initiative by integrating an experienced energy storage and solar sales and installation team.
CleanSpark Acquires Renewable Energy Developer.
Solar Watt has been focused on serving the fire prone communities throughout California by utilizing the Self Generation Incentive Program («SGIP»), which provides homeowners who have medical needs and reside in vulnerable zones with the opportunity to add energy storage to their homes at little or no cost. The Company’s mVoult (mvoult.com) product line for residential microgrids will provide opportunities for both companies to expand quickly throughout the state of California and beyond.
David Watt, Founder of Solar Watt, said, «We are extremely excited to join the great team at CleanSpark. With their products and resources behind Solar Watt, we will be able to expedite growth in the California area. We anticipate scaling up and, being able to offer new product lines while continuing to provide the excellent service our customers have come to expect, which is the foundation for our success.»
CleanSpark’s President and CEO, Zachary Bradford, stated, «Over the past year, we have been working with Solar Watt as a partner to strategically expand our collective sales efforts. As a result, upon closing our transaction to acquire Solar Watt, we added more than $10 million dollars of executed contracts to our backlog. This backlog immediately positions CleanSpark as a player in the direct-to-consumer California residential microgrid market. In addition to executing on their existing pipeline, Solar Watt will form the backbone of the Southern California team for CleanSpark’s new residential mVoult product line. We will continue to devote our efforts to the one-to-many sales approach nationwide through partnerships with companies similar to Solar Watt, but this acquisition will allow us to rapidly scale mVoult and residential sales in Southern California where we have a local presence and a large sales footprint.»
«This acquisition brings a significant pipeline to drive strong revenue growth immediately as part of our new residential initiative,» said Lori Love, Chief Financial Officer of CleanSpark. «We anticipate that the acquisition will contribute approximately $20 million in revenue over the next 12 to 18 months and potentially more as we expand into additional territories with critical energy needs.»

TORRANCE, Calif., Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The 2021 Acura RDX and TLX have earned the highest possible safety rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Both Acura models qualified for TOP SAFETY PICK+ (TSP+) by earning a top rating of «GOOD» in all crashworthiness tests, a «SUPERIOR» rating for the Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™), part of the standard AcuraWatch™ safety and driver-assistive technology and standard «GOOD» rated headlights. Not yet tested by the Institute, the all-new 2022 Acura MDX, the brand’s flagship model, is similarly expected to achieve a 2021 TSP+ rating when it is evaluated later this year.
All Acura sedans and SUVs feature the AcuraWatch™ suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies as standard equipment, including Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™), Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow and Road Departure Mitigation. The 2021 Acura RDX and TLX feature Acura’s Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, designed to enhance occupant protection and crash compatibility in frontal collisions with a network of connected structural elements to distribute crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle and reducing the forces transferred to the passenger compartment. Acura JewelEye™ LED headlights help both models achieve its best-in-class ratings.
To earn the 2021 TOP SAFETY PICK+ award, a vehicle must earn good crashworthiness ratings in all test modes, including the challenging passenger-side small overlap test. It also needs available front crash prevention (standard on RDX and TLX) that earns an advanced or superior rating in both vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian testing and standard good- or acceptable- rated headlights.

BOSTON, Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Today ClimaCell, the world’s leading weather intelligence platform is excited to announce Operation Tomorrow Space. To improve global forecasting technology and capabilities, ClimaCell has designed proprietary radar-equipped satellites and will begin launching dozens into space over the coming years. Known for pioneering a number of weather technology advancements in recent years, ClimaCell’s radar-equipped small-satellite constellation represents a first in the history of the weather industry.
«We are building the first of its kind proprietary satellites equipped with radar, and launching them into space to improve weather monitoring and forecasting capabilities,» said Shimon Elkabetz, CEO and Co-Founder of ClimaCell.
While weather-focused satellites have been in space for decades, most existing satellites still are not able to accurately detect precipitation from space. The few that can cost more than $1 billion each and offer refresh rates in the order of a few days, rendering them practically useless for day-to-day weather applications such as hurricane forecasting and even less severe storm predictions.
Through technological breakthroughs ClimaCell achieved a significant (over 95%) reduction in size and cost of weather-radar satellites, making the dream of true global radar coverage closer than ever.
ClimaCell’s proprietary satellite design includes comparable performance to the existing $1 billion weather satellites such as NASA’s Global Precipitation Mission (GPM), but at a fraction of the price, enabling the opportunity to launch a constellation of dozens of satellites. To put into perspective the physical transformation of ClimaCell’s satellites, the company has reduced the size of existing weather satellites from the size of a school bus – considered industry standard until now – to the size of a miniature refrigerator. Each satellite will be equipped with its own radar, and ClimaCell expects that its constellation will increase global revisit time from satellite to earth by 50X.
«We are positioned for an exciting year in 2021 with Operation Tomorrow Space at the lead of our continued disruption and pioneering across the weather technology industry and beyond,» said Rei Goffer, Chief Strategy Officer and Cofounder at ClimaCell. «While today signifies the next generation of weather capabilities for every person and business on the planet, this is only the first step in support of Operation Tomorrow Space.»

NEW YORK, Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Newly-formed Mother Tongue today announced it is the exclusive Spanish-language production partner of <a target="_blank"…
NEW YORK, Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Newly-formed Mother Tongue today announced it is the exclusive Spanish-language production partner of American Public Media’s (APM) award-winning educational podcast program, Brains On. Distributed broadly through reVolver’s vast podcast network, Brains On en Español will help address the severe gaps evident in US Latino children’s Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education. STEM skills are more necessary now than ever to compete in a global economy, and the current educational entertainment platforms are failing throngs of U.S. Latino children. With Mother Tongue, APM expands its award-winning podcast content to the growing U.S. Latino audience, including the coordination of future multilingual programming.
 Mother Tongue Co-founders and Hispanic/Latinx marketing industry veterans, Lupe De Los Santos and Stephen Hobbs, bring a combined 40+ years of experience in the broadcast and entertainment industries. Prior to Mother Tongue, Hobbs served as VP of Podcasts and Experiential for Univision Communications and co-founder of reVolver Podcasts.
«Our objective with Mother Tongue is to expand the possibilities for growth and learning among multilingual children and families, starting with Spanish,» said Hobbs. «Latino students currently comprise the largest minority group in the public school system, yet score lower than national averages on math and science achievement tests. APM’s broad portfolio of podcast programming will provide much-need support to these audiences and bridge these gaps.»
«I am a firm believer in the power of entertainment platforms, such as podcasts, being used to educate diverse audiences,» added De Los Santos. «Our combined experience in broadcast and digital marketing, as well as entertainment and lifestyle efforts, will no doubt ensure that this content is more easily accessed and enjoyed by Hispanic/Latinx families across the U.S.»
Brains On features Molly Bloom, co-creator and host of Brains On, and her hope is that with Brains On en Español, «Kids and families will be encouraged to explore their natural curiosity and wonder by hearing audience questions answered through a science-focused lens. With the launch of Brains On en Español, we’re excited for even more kids to nurture the skills they need to navigate our changing world as open-minded, critical thinkers.»
«We’re thrilled to partner with Mother Tongue on bringing entertaining and evidence-based audio programming to Spanish-speaking kids and families in the U.S. and around the world during a time when facts have never mattered more,» added Alex Schaffert, COO of On-Demand Audio, American Public Media.
With Latinos representing the largest minority group in the U.S., Mother Tongue, APM & reVolver took this opportunity as a way to revolutionize the podcast landscape and create an avenue where children and adults alike could listen to their favorite podcasts in English and Spanish. With the number of bilingual children increasing each year, Mother Tongue hopes to advance and diversify the industry and encourage kids to grow and learn.
Listeners can catch the all-new Brains On en Español podcast on Apple, Spotify, Amazon Music, iHeart, and Radio Public. To learn more, visit https://www.brainson.org/page/es.
