Convergent Energy and Power Wins The Cleanie Awards®’ 2022 Project of the Year

Now in its fifth year, The Cleanie Awards is a leading awards program focused on recognizing innovators and those making an impact in clean energy by highlighting the leading brands and thought leaders that are paving the way to a decarbonized future.

The energy storage system, designed, constructed, and operated by Convergent, will deliver more cost-effective, reliable, and sustainable electricity to National Grid customers in Cicero, New York, while leveraging solar energy during nonpeak periods.

“We are thrilled and honored to be recognized by The Cleanie Awards for our efforts to advance the clean energy transition,” said Frank Genova, Chief Operating and Financial Officer of Convergent Energy and Power. “This would not have been possible without our partners at National Grid, who recognized that an innovative solution can increase the availability of emissions-free energy while enhancing grid reliability. I’d like to thank our employees, customers, partners and the public for casting their vote for Convergent. We greatly appreciate your support.”

Brian Gemmell, National Grid’s New York chief operating officer for electric: “We are delighted that our project with Convergent was selected by votes for The Cleanie Awards. National Grid is focused on building a path to a more affordable, reliable clean energy future through our fossil-free vision. Projects like our NWA Pine Grove with Convergent are transforming our electricity networks with smarter, cleaner, and more resilient energy solutions to serve our customers and meet the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.”

“We applaud this year’s applicants and winners, as well as the industry colleagues that contributed to the highly competitive People’s Choice awards,” said Randee Gilmore, Executive Director of The Cleanie Awards. “The clean energy transition has accelerated this year given the boost of the IRA, maturing technologies, a surge of capital funding, and the rollout of ambitious climatetech projects.”
