Transmission and distribution systems are the backbone of the world’s power grids and the global energy transition. Yet T&D technology hasn’t significantly changed in more than a century. We cannot operate a 21st century grid with 20th century wires. That’s why TS Conductor was born — because there’s a better way to deliver electricity. Headquartered in California, our award-winning, high-performance conductors are modernizing electricity infrastructure for all. TS Conductor provides a drop-in advanced solution for both reconductoring and new line builds capable of handling 3x ampacity, cutting line losses by as much as 50%, and boasting exceptional strength while nearly eliminating sag, compared to traditional ACSR/ACSS conductors. The TS team and our electric utility partners are unlocking that potential — strengthening grid reliability and resilience, reducing total costs, accelerating grid modernization and decarbonization, and enabling better renewables integration, all while handling new loads from EVs and the Electrify Everything movement. Plus, by using the best materials and technology available, we’ve solved the problems associated with previous generations of advanced conductors. Our conductors are easy to work with, using tools and techniques already familiar to line crews. All of this has made the TS solution one of the most-awarded grid technologies of recent years, including 2023 winner of the CABLE Prize from the U.S. Department of Energy’s American Made challenge, 2023 winner of a Platts Global Energy Award from S&P Global Commodity Insights, 2023 winner of Public Utilities Fortnightly’s inaugural Edison Pioneers Innovation of the Year, and 2024 finalist of BNEF Pioneers. Born in the USA. Made in the USA. Backed by Breakthrough Energy Ventures, NextEra, and National Grid.

SWTCH is pioneering EV charging solutions for multifamily and commercial properties across North America. We help building owners and operators deploy EV charging that optimizes energy usage and revenue at scale using existing grid infrastructure.

AMP is applying AI-powered sortation at scale to modernize the worlds recycling infrastructure and maximize the value in waste. AMP gives waste and recycling leaders the power to harness AI to reduce labor costs, increase resource recovery, and deliver more reliable operations. With hundreds of deployments across North America, Asia, and Europe, AMP’s technology offers a transformational solution to waste sortation and changes the fundamental economics of recycling.

Sense is making the energy transition accessible for everyone. Our mission is to reduce global carbon emissions by transforming the relationship between people, homes and the electric grid. To do this, we empower people and utilities with the knowledge and solutions required to shape a brighter, cleaner future. We partner with meter manufacturers to offer utilities software that helps them meet their electrification goals by making the grid more scalable and resilient. Our consumer app makes homes smarter, empowering people to make better use of their energy, lower electricity bills, and reduce their carbon footprint.

Concrete That Matters: CarbonCure Technologies is on a mission to make concrete a climate solution, reducing embodied carbon emissions in the built environment and transforming concrete plants into a worldwide network of carbon removal factories. Across the global concrete industry, CarbonCure is scaling an integrated decarbonization platform, offering concrete producers a suite of hardware, software and services to reduce the carbon footprint of their concrete products, reduce their production costs and meet the surging demand for green building materials without compromising performance. CarbonCure’s technologies are retrofitted into concrete plants without disrupting operations and seamlessly integrate with existing batching processes. CarbonCure injects captured CO₂ across the concrete manufacturing process, with commercialized solutions for ready mix concrete, precast concrete and reclaimed water. Upon injection, CO₂ immediately mineralizes in concrete, becoming permanently embedded. Even if a structure is later demolished, the nanoparticles of mineralized carbon will not return to the atmosphere. This mineralization also enables producers to reduce the amount of cement needed for each batch of concrete. Carbon XPRIZE Grand Prize winner, Cleantech 100 Hall of Fame Company and a category leader in low carbon concrete technologies and carbon removal, CarbonCure delivers a true win-win, with climate benefits for the world and economic benefits for concrete producers in one of the worlds hardest-to-decarbonize industries.
