New program by renewable energy retailer rewards Texas customers with cash in exchange for conserving energy during times of peak energy usage

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Renewable energy retailer Octopus Energy today announced the launch of its first-ever Superpower Savings program to financially reward its Texas customers who conserve energy during times of extreme heat. The goal of the program is to decrease overall stress on the grid during peak demand events. Users can opt-in to the program through this link: https://octopus.typeform.com/to/mfSdrARN.


Customers with an EcoBee thermostat can benefit from Superpower Savings by allowing Octopus Energy to control their smart thermostat and automatically set it at an 80 degree threshold the next time the grid is hitting load capacity. In return, users will receive a credit on their next bill statement for helping to conserve energy during peak times. Customers without a smart thermostat can also participate by opting to receive a notification for the next Superpower Savings event and texting Octopus Energy their account number and a picture of their thermostat set to at least 80 degrees to receive a reward. Octopus Energy’s Superpower Savings program will soon be integrated with other smart thermostats.

“With a rapidly growing population, extreme weather events like Winter Storm Uri and the major heat waves we are already seeing this summer pose a threat to our overburdened electrical grid. What most consumers don’t know, however, is that by raising the temperature of your thermostat just a few degrees, you can help decrease overall stress on the grid and reduce the chance of rolling blackouts during extreme weather. Texans have historically always lent a helping hand. This is the modern equivalent of helping your neighbor, while also getting money back,” said Michael Lee, CEO of Octopus Energy U.S. “Octopus Energy’s Superpower Savings program aims to give our customers the financial benefits when they are conserving energy at critical points in time.”

With weather extremes reaching new heights across the globe, the vulnerability of the current power system is becoming increasingly apparent. In preparation for the record-breaking hot summer and high energy usage that come with it, Octopus Energy created Superpower Savings as a way to engage Texans to help the state conserve energy during extreme weather and avoid a grid reliability issue.

In addition to the Superpower Savings program, Octopus Energy gives customers full wholesale power credits when they sell back to the grid. That means those customers who have solar or generators at home can support the stability of the grid while also putting cash back in their pockets.

To participate in the next Superpower Savings event, users can opt-in at https://octopus.typeform.com/to/mfSdrARN or reach out to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with any questions.

NEW YORK & OSLO, Norway--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FREYR AS, a Norway-based developer of clean, next-generation battery cell production capacity, and Alussa Energy Acquisition Corp. (“Alussa Energy”) (NYSE: ALUS), a Cayman Island exempted special purpose acquisition company, announced the completion of their previously announced business combination (the “Business Combination”). The Business Combination, which is effective today, was approved at the special meeting of shareholders of Alussa Energy on June 30, 2021.

The combined company now operates as FREYR Battery (“FREYR”) and its common stock and warrants began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbols “FREY” and “FREY WS”, respectively, on July 8, 2021. Alussa Energy’s public units separated into their component securities upon consummation of the Business Combination and, as a result, no longer trade as a separate security and are being delisted by the NYSE.

The Business Combination provides equity funding for FREYR’s battery cell manufacturing development strategy, including the development of up to 43 GWh of annual battery cell production capacity at Mo i Rana, Norway. Related to the transaction close, Alussa Energy has received elections to redeem approximately 18.4 million of its outstanding shares. After redemptions and prior to payment of transaction expenses, FREYR is expected to receive approximately $704 million in gross proceeds from the Business Combination. This includes $600 million in gross proceeds from the issuance of a fully committed Private Investment in Public Equity (“PIPE”) transaction anchored by strategic and institutional investors, including Koch Strategic Platforms, Glencore, Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC, Franklin Templeton, Sylebra Capital and Van Eck Associates Corporation.

Daniel Barcelo, Chief Executive Officer and Director of FREYR Battery, said, “We are proud to complete the combination of Alussa Energy and FREYR, positioning FREYR Battery for leadership in accelerating decarbonization ambitions across the globe. Alussa Energy remained true to its goal to promote the energy transaction movement and is excited to introduce one of the first pure-play, ESG-focused clean battery cell production companies to U.S public markets. I look forward to a continued strong partnership with the entire FREYR Battery team as we execute on our long-term growth strategy.”

Torstein Dale Sjøtveit, Founder and Executive Chairman of FREYR, commented, “The combination with Alussa Energy and subsequent NYSE listing are major milestones for FREYR. We are excited about the endorsement of our growth strategy and the value creation potential enabled by state-of-the-art technology, access to clean renewable energy and a strong organization with a unique combined competence in battery technology, partnership strategies, project execution and operational excellence. The capital from the business combination with Alussa Energy will catalyze FREYR’s plan to deliver up to 43 GWh of battery cell manufacturing capacity in Norway by 2025.”

Tom Einar Jensen, Co-Founder and CEO of FREYR, added, “From the outset, FREYR’s ambition has been to become one of the largest European battery cell suppliers and a leader in the Nordic battery ecosystem. Speed, scale and sustainability are the core tenets of FREYR’s strategy, and we will deploy the capital from this business combination to rapidly build large facilities in Norway leveraging the favorable battery cell production environment. We are advancing commercial discussions across our target market segments with potential customers seeking clean, low-cost and low-carbon battery cells.”

NEW YORK & CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sunlight Financial (“Sunlight”), a premier, technology-enabled point-of-sale financing company, today announced the closing of its previously-announced business combination (the “Business Combination”) with Spartan Acquisition Corp. II (“Spartan”) (NYSE:SPRQ), a publicly-traded special purpose acquisition company sponsored by funds managed by an affiliate of Apollo Global Management, Inc. (NYSE:APO) (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Apollo”). The Business Combination was approved yesterday by Spartan’s stockholders.

The combined company is named Sunlight Financial Holdings Inc. and on July 12, 2021, its common stock will begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “SUNL”, while its warrants will trade on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “SUNLW”. Sunlight Financial LLC will be the new public holding company’s sole operating subsidiary and Sunlight’s existing management team will continue to lead the business.

“This is a momentous day for Sunlight and we are excited to accelerate the transition to a clean energy future as a publicly-traded company,” said Matt Potere, Chief Executive Officer of Sunlight. “As demand for residential solar and battery storage solutions continues to grow, Sunlight is well-positioned to extend its lead as the point-of-sale technology platform of choice and provide frictionless financing for solar and home improvement customers, contractors and capital providers. We look forward to further scaling our business and executing on our strategic goals to deliver sustainable and profitable growth and create long-term value for our stockholders.”

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ranger Energy Services, Inc. (NYSE: RNGR) (“Ranger” or the “Company”) continues the expansion of its wireline services business with the announcement of the acquisition of PerfX Wireline Services (“PerfX”).


Ranger is pleased to announce the acquisition of PerfX, its second wireline acquisition in the last several weeks. The first, the previously announced acquisition of Patriot Completion Services (“Patriot”), closed on May 14th while the PerfX acquisition closed yesterday, July 8th. The combination of Patriot and PerfX significantly increases the scale and scope of our existing Mallard wireline business. We are extending our range of services beyond our current completion-oriented work to now include a full suite of production services as well as adding geographic diversity.

Bill Austin, Chairman of the Board and interim CEO of Ranger stated, “Similar to our previously announced acquisition of Patriot, the addition of PerfX to our Ranger portfolio of companies checks a number of strategic boxes. With these two acquisitions we now have the scale, scope and diversification necessary to ensure the long-term success of our wireline service offerings under the Ranger umbrella. Moving forward, Ranger will continue its focus on balance sheet strength and free cash flow generation. We are pleased to have completed these two transactions and expect more opportunities to grow our businesses through acquisitions.”

Assets

Together, the Patriot and PerfX transactions add 55 wireline trucks, 10 cranes, and four pump-down pumps to Ranger’s existing Mallard fleet of 13 wireline trucks and eight pumps. Additionally, these acquisitions bring eight locations and 27 incremental customers, as well as full packages of other ancillary equipment. Both Patriot and PerfX are young companies with a full suite of recently built state-of-the-art assets. As a result, we expect to see only nominal maintenance capital expense associated with these assets over the next few years.

Strategic Intent

As noted, these acquisitions add significant scale to Ranger’s existing wireline business, increasing Mallard’s 13 unit count to a post-transactions total of 68 wireline trucks. Geographically, we are expanding beyond Mallard’s current Permian focus to a footprint that includes the DJ, Bakken and Powder River basins in eight incremental locations. In addition to the geographic diversity, Patriot adds an extensive production services focus to Mallard’s completion-only offering. This balances our service intensity across the entire well life helping to smooth revenue and earnings volatility across the commodity cycles. These acquisitions also enhance our wireline customer diversification with the addition of 27 incremental wireline customers.

Purchase Price

On a combined basis, for both the Patriot and PerfX transactions, Ranger has issued 2.256 million shares of Class A Common Stock representing 12% of the pro-forma, post-transaction outstanding Class A and B Common Stock. Additionally, Ranger has assumed a total of $12 million of light duty vehicle leases and rolling-stock associated term debt.

Financial Metrics

In Q1 2021, the combination of Patriot and PerfX posted $30 million of revenue, a proforma increase of 78% over Ranger’s reported total company revenue of $38 million. Gross margins for the acquired businesses are currently in the 12-16% range. Once fully integrated, we expect these margins to increase to at least 20%, a margin level more in-line with Mallard’s historic operating performance. Note that the Patriot and PerfX Q1 2021 revenue reflects a 45% wireline truck utilization. Both businesses currently have an operating capability up to a target 75% utilization, demonstrating significant upside beyond already accretive near-term expectations. On a NTM basis we expect EV/EBITDA accretion of 27% and FCF/share accretion of 34%.

XConnect Gun System

The PerfX purchase price includes a 30% ownership option in XConnect through a warrant structure. XConnect is the manufacturer of a perforating gun system developed over the last several years by the PerfX sellers alongside the PerfX Wireline service business. This ownership option is conditioned on the maintenance of a specific minimum level of XConnect purchases. Post-acquisition, XConnect is expected to remain the preferred gun supplier to PerfX’s current customer base.

About Ranger Energy Services, Inc.

Ranger is an independent provider of well service rigs, wireline and associated services in the United States, with a focus on unconventional horizontal well completion and production operations. Ranger also provides services necessary to bring and maintain a well on production through its Processing Solutions segment which engages in the rental, installation, commissioning, start-up, operation and maintenance of MRUs, Natural Gas Liquid stabilizer and storage units and related equipment.

TULSA, Okla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NGL Energy Partners LP (NYSE: NGL) (“Partnership” or “NGL”) is pleased to announce that a binding open season will start today, July 9, 2021 at 8:00 am Central Daylight Time for its wholly owned affiliate Grand Mesa Pipeline, LLC’s (“Grand Mesa”) crude oil pipeline. This open season will close on August 9, 2021 at 5:00 pm Central Daylight Time.


Grand Mesa provides takeaway capacity for crude oil producers in the Denver-Julesburg Basin. It originates in Weld County, Colorado and extends approximately 550 miles southeast to NGL Crude Cushing, LLC’s storage terminal at Cushing, Oklahoma. The pipeline is capable of receiving and batch transporting up to 150,000 barrels per day for delivery into the Cushing hub, which affords its shippers access to both U.S. Midcontinent refining and trading markets as well as the Texas Gulf Coast refinery complex. The pipeline not only supports the continued growth and production in the area, but does so in a cost-effective and environmentally responsible way by reducing the current utilization of rail and truck transportation.

In 2016, NGL held an open season seeking commitments from shippers interested in shipping on Grand Mesa’s pipeline system. In response to the 2016 open season, Grand Mesa signed transportation service agreements with multiple shippers. Due to recent shipper bankruptcies and related contract terminations, committed capacity on Grand Mesa’s system has become available again. Accordingly, NGL is holding the current open season to re-contract available capacity on the Grand Mesa pipeline. The transportation services under this open season process are being offered pursuant to terms and conditions that are substantially similar to those applicable to the committed shippers that signed transportation service agreements in the 2016 open season, as specified in the open season documents.

Potential shippers will have access to the open season documents upon execution of a confidentiality agreement with Grand Mesa. The Confidentiality Agreement, and open season documents, can be obtained by contacting one of the contacts listed below.

About NGL Energy Partners LP

NGL Energy Partners LP, a Delaware limited partnership is a diversified midstream energy company that transports, stores, markets and provides other logistic services for crude oil, natural gas liquids and other products and transports, treats and disposes of produced water generated as part of the oil and natural gas production process.

The award recognizes the impact Schneider has had helping its customers set and achieve decarbonization goals using its flagship EcoStruxure™ software solutions, which are underpinned by Microsoft technologies.


For the period from 2018-2020, Schneider Electric helped its customers save 134 million tons of CO2 emissions, now reaching 276 million tons saved by the end of the first quarter of 2021. The Group was named the world’s most sustainable corporation by Corporate Knights in February, helping companies to bridge the gap between setting climate change ambitions and achieving them. Using its EcoStruxure™ portfolio of solutions, which are powered by the most advanced evolution of Microsoft Azure, Schneider helps organizations set, achieve, measure and report on science-based decarbonization targets, while positively impacting their bottom line.

“Winning the 2021 Microsoft Sustainability Changemaker Partner of the Year Award is great recognition of the work we are doing together to tackle climate change. This is a highly valued relationship, and going forward, we will work on the on the implementation of a new co-innovate and co-sell solution named EcoStruxure™ Traceability Advisor. This solution will help our mutual customers connect the vast amount of data across their value chain to build a 360-degree resilient and traceable supply chain,” said Philippe Delorme, Executive Vice-President, Energy Management at Schneider Electric. “As the world’s most sustainable company by Corporate Knights, we know that the future is green, smart, people-centric, and powered by renewable energy, and we are humbled that our mission is shared by our partners, as we continue to expand our product offering and strengthen our 30-year relationship with Microsoft to build a sustainable future together.”

Customers Schneider Electric has helped, together with Microsoft, include JLL, one of the world’s largest owners of real estate. JLL has set bold commitments to reduce its carbon footprint and obtain actionable energy and sustainability data across its investment portfolio.

Darren Battle, JLL’s Asia-Pacific Head of Corporate Real Estate and Workplace says: “Thanks to Schneider’s EcoStruxure™ for Real Estate solution, JLL’s new Asia-Pacific headquarters in Singapore uses smart IoT technologies to support the company’s ambitions of creating the workplace of the future. This solution helps JLL improve the well-being of the occupants of the building, reduce energy use by 30%, and increase overall building value in a completely sustainable way.”

With this award, Schneider Electric was also recognized by Microsoft for developing a comprehensive energy management and sustainability strategy for Blackstone, one of the world’s largest private equity firms. Schneider Electric implemented its flagship ESG software solution, EcoStruxure™ Resource Advisor, to capture and normalize energy and utility data at all levels of Blackstone’s portfolio, from individual sites to regional cross sections.

Data from Resource Advisor allows Blackstone to negotiate contracts with utilities and other suppliers, getting the right source of energy at the lowest possible rates. The data is also used to develop sector-specific scorecards, which are automatically updated to drive program participation across critical KPIs. This has helped Blackstone to save tens of millions of dollars on its energy consumption from sustainability efforts and strategic energy sourcing. In September 2020, Blackstone set a goal of reducing carbon emissions by 15% within the first three years of buying any asset or company across its portfolio. Solutions from Schneider Electric are a key component of Blackstone’s success in achieving this goal.

With more than 15 years of sustainability leadership, Schneider Electric has also committed to achieve net zero across the entirety of its value chain by 2050, and, earlier this year, implemented its Zero Carbon Project, an ambitious new program designed to help its top 1,000 suppliers reduce their emissions 50% by 2025.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--New Fortress Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NFE) (“New Fortress”) announced today that it has signed a Framework Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Government of Sri Lanka to construct a new offshore liquefied natural gas (LNG) receiving, storage and regasification terminal (the “Terminal”). The Terminal will be located off the coast of Colombo to supply gas to the country’s power plants, primarily located in the Kerawalapitiya Power Complex.


The Kerawalapitiya Power Complex consists of 300 MW in operation today and is ultimately expected to grow to over 1,000 MW by 2025.

As part of the Agreement, New Fortress will supply natural gas to the existing 300 MW Yugadanavi Power Plant and is negotiating the purchase of the Government’s 40% stake in the company that owns the power plant. This power plant is currently under a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) to provide electricity to the national grid that extends through 2035. The plant consists of General Electric turbines and was configured to run on natural gas in combined cycle.

“We are excited to support the transition of Sri Lanka to clean, reliable and affordable energy,” said Wes Edens, Chairman and CEO of New Fortress Energy. “This investment in Sri Lanka’s first LNG terminal will advance the country’s clean energy transition and support sustainable development for this vibrant economy. This is the first of what we think will be a number of investments in power and infrastructure in the country.”

This Terminal will introduce natural gas to the country of Sri Lanka for the first time and will assist the transition to lower-carbon energy sources.

According to the Sri Lankan authorities, NFE’s investments are in line with the Government policy of accelerating the transition to cleaner and cheaper energy sources and signify that the Country is open to investments and business.

As part of the Agreement, the Government will facilitate the obtainment of necessary permits and entitlements by New Fortress to construct the LNG terminal. The Terminal is expected to begin operations by the second half of 2022.

This investment in Sri Lanka, a diverse and vibrant island nation with over 21 million people, represents New Fortress’ first LNG terminal in Asia.

The purchase of the Government’s interest in the company owning the power plant is subject to final documentation and the parties will work together to finalize their commercial agreements. New Fortress signed the Agreement with the Secretary to the Treasury and the Ministry of Finance.
