http://www.ice-energy.com Ice Energy is a leading provider of advanced energy storage and smart grid solutions to the electric utility industry. Founded in 2003, the company is dedicated to transforming energy system efficiency and improving grid reliability through the development of advanced technology solutions that promote the efficient use of energy resources, reduce our dependency on fossil fuels, and enable the transition to a cleaner, smarter, more sustainable power grid. Ice Energy’s smart grid platform integrates revolutionary, distributed energy storage technology with an advanced software infrastructure and intelligent two-way control to provide utilities with a powerful, cost-effective alternative to conventional peaking power plants for meeting peak demand. By leveraging the higher efficiencies associated with generating and transmitting cleaner, more efficient and more abundant power off-peak, storing it at thousands of distributed locations, and dispatching it during times of peak demand, Ice Energy delivers a sustainable new energy solution equivalent to thousands of megawatts of clean peaking power for utilities. Ice Energy, in conjunction with the Southern California Public Power Authority, recently began implementation and installation of the industry’s largest distributed energy storage project, a 53 Megawatt (MW) energy storage project utilizing Ice Energy technology. The project, which represents the potential to deploy Ice Bear energy storage systems on thousands of locations throughout Southern California, will reduce California’s peak electrical demand by as much as 64 Gigawatt hours annually, saving enough on-peak energy to power 10,000 average homes. The company is headquartered in Windsor, Colorado, with offices in Orange County and Sacramento, California.
