Greenway students were energized by their visit to KORE Power Solutions and its sister company NOMAD Transportable Power Systems earlier this month. Located in Waterbury, these two companies are positioned to grow rapidly as our society makes the renewable energy transition.
Co-founder and inventor Gregg Noble explained that they came up with the idea for a transportable energy storage system in the context of reducing peak demands for utility companies. They have been blown away by the many other uses customers discovered once the technology hit the market.
Examples include:
- Stadiums – to cover the high demand of a concert
- Natural disaster relief – power can be hooked up in under an hour to get disaster relief started quickly
- Renewable energy storage – used to meet demand when the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing
The small Waterbury startup company is gearing up to manufacture multiple NOMAD systems per week, and Greenway students are excited to watch their progression and possibly even get involved!
Greenway Students Testify At Vermont Statehouse
Greenway’s students have been following the work of Vermont’s Renewable Energy Standard (RES) reform working group, a legislative group tasked with updating the state’s energy policies to encourage further development of renewables. On Wednesday, students attended the working group to give testimony on essential topics including energy storage, nuclear power, and incentivizing locals over out-of-state wind and solar development.
