A good, clean fight is a hard-fought competition contested within the rules. For The Clean Fight, a not-for-profit, supported by awards from NYSERDA, and the U.S. Departments of Energy and Commerce, their “fight” is with the significant obstacles that exist for New York based entrepreneurs and developers working to solve the climate crisis with innovative, cutting-edge solutions that advance New York State’s zero emission goals.
The Clean Fight operates from a belief that the technologies needed to solve the climate crisis already exist but that it’s imperative for these technologies to be adopted as quickly as possible while the unprecedented amount of Federal and State incentives, policy, and funding are available.
To support development-ready innovative energy storage projects in New York, The Clean Fight organized the “Energy Storage Capital Challenge” – essentially a competition among growth-stage companies designed to identify the most promising energy storage projects that are beyond the planning phase but that need an infusion of capital to accelerate their deployment.
Earlier this month, The Clean Fight announced their Energy Storage Capital Challenge selections. Among the six selectees was Sprocket Power’s solar, battery storage, building management, and EV charging microgrid project at the Hampton Jitney depot in Riverhead. When completed, the Hampton Jitney microgrid will serve as a regional EV charging hub for multiple bus fleets and public vehicles. It will also provide Hampton Jitney with a dependable source of clean energy for their fleet.
Sprocket Power is thrilled to have been selected by The Clean Fight to support the Hampton Jitney project. The selection means more than simply gaining access to potential funding sources and industry experts to accelerate development of the project. The selection is also a recognition that Sprocket Power is an innovative, forward-thinking company that is applying a unique approach to the challenges faced by medium sized enterprises as their transportation resources transition to electric power.
