🚀 As the AI industry continues to grow, data center energy demand is skyrocketing. By 2027, data centers are expected to expand by 120%-130% across the American West, Midwest, and Southeast, increasing energy demand from 17GW to 45GW. This growth, estimated to cost $150 billion through 2028, will lean on the renewables sector both for power and for transferrable software to help these data centers run efficiently. Find out which electrification trends we're watching on our blog: https://lnkd.in/dk3_nesf And stay tuned for the release of Energize's Top 30 Electrification Software Innovators this Thursday, July 18th!⚡ #ElectrifyEverything #AI #Energy

We're excited to share that Aurora Solar, one of Energize Capital's portfolio companies, has acquired Lyra, the leading provider of permit-ready design plans. This acquisition reflects Aurora Solar's industry-leading commitment to making residential solar installation easier and more accessible than ever.
Today we're excited to announce that we've officially acquired Lyra, the leading provider of instant plan set packages. 🎉 Lyra’s permit packaging software helps solar professionals automate, create, and export permit-ready design plans, and as the U.S. #solar industry faces significant challenges, solar installers will benefit from shortened turnaround times, reduced costs, and installations that stay on track, thanks to the integration of Lyra into Aurora Solar’s platform. "Lyra’s advanced automation software for plan sets is the solution the solar industry needs to alleviate a key homeowner pain point—the often agonizing permitting process—and help solar professionals build trust," said Chris Hopper, CEO at Aurora Solar. "We’re proud to be the most trusted and accurate solar #sales and design tool, with 80% of the top US #installers relying on our platform. Our intention is to be the market leader in U.S. residential plan set service and automation; the acquisition of Lyra significantly accelerates our ability to achieve this goal." #AuroraSolar https://bit.ly/3WnuWO8

🔋 Announcing Energize Electrify Everything 2024! 🔋 We're excited to kick off this year's exploration of the future of electrification with our latest blog: https://lnkd.in/dk3_nesf Follow along this month for our latest research on the state of electrification, including the release of Energize's Top 30 Electrification Software Innovators on July 18th. ⚡Why Electrification? Over 70% of GHG emissions come from fossil fuel energy consumption. The technologies needed to decarbonize are already viable and economically competitive. Avoiding GHG emissions in the next 5-10 years is exponentially more valuable due to carbon cycle feedback loops. With over $12T in potential revenue by 2030, the net-zero transition is the largest wealth creation opportunity of our lifetime. 💡 This Year's Key Themes: 1. The Modern Energy Stack: A new era of grid data needs a new era of software 2. The Rise of Virtual Power Plants: Achieving flexible, distributed energy 3. A Storage Revolution: How batteries are outpacing all expectations 4. Power Crunch: The race to power AI is on 5. Renewables O&M: Software for a maturing renewables industry #EnergizeCapital #ElectrifyEverything #Electrification #FutureOfEnergy #CleanEnergy #NetZero #Sustainability
