Past deals in Electric Grid

Renewell Energy

Seed Round in 2024
Renewell Energy develops gravity-based, renewable energy storage that repurposes idle oil and gas wells. The technology converts inactive wells into a low-cost, flexible storage network by lowering a weight down a repurposed wellbore to push electricity onto the grid when demand is high and raising it back up when demand is low, effectively storing energy as gravitational potential. The approach targets zero-self-discharge storage and aims to abate greenhouse gas emissions by utilizing existing oil and gas infrastructure to create a scalable energy storage solution. The company is based in Bakersfield, California.

PeakSyncer
