Business Wire News

ORANGE, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AVANGRID (NYSE: AGR), a leading sustainable energy company and part of the Iberdrola Group, today released the following statement regarding its clean energy investments in Massachusetts and the path forward for the Commonwealth Wind project.


“We are proud that our joint venture, the nation-leading Vineyard Wind 1 project, will bring 800 Megawatts (MW) of offshore wind to and create 3,600 jobs for Massachusetts. The project has achieved material milestones, including the securing of 62 GE Haliade-X turbines, receipt of all federal, state, and local permits, and commencing of undersea cable installation. We’re projecting delivering first power to the grid late 2023, achieving Commercial Operation in 2024. And recently, we announced that AVANGRID will lead the operations and maintenance of the project, tapping into our global expertise to become the first offshore O&M operator in the U.S. We are proud that Vineyard Wind 1 is a turning point moment for the U.S. and launches a brand new American clean energy industry that will create thousands of jobs, improve our energy security, and help address the climate emergency.

In addition to Vineyard Wind 1, AVANGRID has also invested in the New England Clean Energy Connect (NECEC) hydroelectric line, and the Commonwealth Wind project, bringing its total of proposed investment in the region to $10 billion – demonstrating the company’s steadfast commitment to helping Massachusetts meet its nation-leading climate and clean energy goals We continue to battle incumbent energy interests, including fossil fuel opposition, to bring the 1200 MW cost-effective NECEC hydroelectric project forward.

Regarding Commonwealth Wind, we know how important this project is to ensure that Massachusetts can meet its climate goals, have cost-effective pricing for ratepayers, and jump start economic development, including the redevelopment of Salem Harbor as an offshore wind marshalling port and the development of a cable manufacturing facility at Brayton Point. We have a path forward to ensure that we can finance and build this project to deliver 1200 MW of emissions free, cost-effective energy resources, helping Massachusetts achieve the state’s climate law and targets for 2030. Despite unprecedented challenges in the global economy in the form of supply chain disruptions, historic levels of inflation, and rising interest rates, AVANGRID has engaged in good-faith and productive discussions with Massachusetts state officials regarding these challenges and the need to restore the project to economic viability. AVANGRID appreciates their engagement as we worked to find a path forward for the project having invested millions of dollars already in its permitting and development. As building Commonwealth Wind remains our objective, AVANGRID has been disappointed in the Electric Distribution Companies’ refusal to immediately engage on this matter.

To advance this project as expeditiously as possible, AVANGRID today filed a motion with the DPU to dismiss its review of the Commonwealth Wind contracts, which will allow all parties an opportunity to pursue an expedient path forward – opening the path to inclusion of the 1200 MW in the upcoming offshore wind solicitation slated for April 2023. With this step, a competitive process that accounts for the unprecedented changes will ensure that a clean energy project can be built to serve the Commonwealth’s energy needs. AVANGRID is committed to bidding Commonwealth Wind into that solicitation, and has the utmost confidence, given the advanced stage of the project and its inherent benefits, that it can address the current economic challenges facing the project and offer the most cost-effective pricing; a superior timeline for completion that positions Massachusetts to meet its ambitious 2030 climate target; and the creation of thousands of jobs and transformational economic development opportunities.

We thank the Baker Administration, the Attorney General’s Office, and the incoming Administration of Governor-elect Maura Healey for their work on behalf of the people of the Commonwealth. We are proud of the remarkable partnership we have built with Massachusetts as we work together to launch a nascent offshore wind industry for the United States, and we remain committed as ever to reinforcing our bond and advancing our shared goal of a better, brighter clean energy future.”

Differentiating in the market with their green broadband initiative, AcenTek earns top customer innovation honors by leveraging the world’s greenest broadband network architecture to deliver substantial energy savings from the data center to the home network

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Calix, Inc. (NYSE: CALX) has recognized AcenTek as a “Giant of Sustainability” and a 2022 Customer Innovations Award winner. Announced at Calix ConneXions 2022, the award honors AcenTek for their innovative approach to becoming a “green broadband” service provider. AcenTek leveraged energy-efficient Calix Intelligent Access EDGE™ and Calix Revenue EDGE™ platforms to deliver exceptional energy savings of 73 percent in network access edge energy consumption and 50 percent in the subscriber’s home network. AcenTek differentiates by deploying sustainable broadband technology to deliver amazing Calix managed services to subscribers in an energy-efficient and cost-effective way. By dramatically reducing energy consumption end to end while lowering OPEX, AcenTek is taking giant steps to ensure a sustainable future for their community.


AcenTek’s pioneering green broadband strategy incorporates both the Intelligent Access EDGE and Revenue EDGE platforms to optimize energy savings. As a result, AcenTek is able to:

  • Reduce energy consumption by 73 percent in the network access edge. AcenTek used the Network Innovation Platform’s advanced routing module (ARm) and subscriber management module (SMm) to consolidate service-enabling network functions within the E9®-2 Intelligent EDGE System and deployed the Aggregation Service Manager (ASM) card. Eliminating the number of network devices and the associated optical connections contributed to lowering energy consumption at the access edge by 73 percent.
  • Extend 50 percent energy savings to the subscriber’s home network using the Revenue EDGE GigaSpire® BLAST. AcenTek launched the Calix GigaSpire BLAST system to deliver managed Wi-Fi services—and energy benefits—to subscribers. A single GigaSpire BLAST provides complete, whole-home Wi-Fi coverage in more than 90 percent of AcenTek subscriber homes that have it. This eliminates the need for additional energy-consuming hardware such as mesh units or pods and reduces home network energy consumption by more than 50 percent.
  • Reduce energy consumption an additional 85 percent by eliminating energy-hungry remote cabinets and outdated DSL systems. AcenTek also vastly reduced energy consumption by upgrading DSL subscribers to the fiber-based E7®-2 Intelligent Modular System. This upgrade enabled AcenTek to remove more than 100 high energy-consuming remote cabinets and DSL systems and replace them with central office-based E7-2 systems. The DSL system replacement reduced access network energy consumption an additional 85 percent.

“We are honored to be recognized by Calix with this award,” said Ethan Webinger, chief operating officer at AcenTek. “Calix has been an invaluable partner as we’ve developed our green broadband initiative and built our green broadband network. We’ve reduced our core routing power footprint by 73 percent by eliminating routing systems with the Intelligent Access EDGE E9-2 system. We’ve also increased network capacity and simplified operations and management as a result of deploying the Network Innovation Platform on all our systems. After 17 years we can confidently say that Calix is the only company that consistently delivers innovative, end-to-end sustainable broadband solutions to rural communities like ours. Where industry giants overlook us, Calix honors us for our commitment to a sustainable future. Thanks to Calix, we will be able to continue our green broadband initiative and grow our value in the community for generations to come.”

AcenTek began in 1950 as the Fillmore County Telephone Cooperative, formed by a group of farmers determined to improve rural telephone service in rural Minnesota. Today, AcenTek (“Ascending Technology”) brings broadband innovation and transformation to 17,000 subscribers in 33 communities.

“We believe that communities should not have to sacrifice sustainability in order to get fast broadband and vital managed services,” said Shane Eleniak, executive vice president of products at Calix. “We have invested more than $1 billion over the past 11 years to develop the world’s greenest subscriber-facing broadband network architecture. With the Intelligent Access EDGE platform, BSPs can consolidate multiple network systems and subscriber functions into the fewest network components—dramatically reducing both energy and OPEX. By partnering with Calix, service providers can deliver the world-class broadband their subscribers demand with the simplest and most efficient operating model in the industry. AcenTek’s innovative next-generation network demonstrates their commitment to sustainability while establishing themselves as a giant in their community. That’s the power of partnerships and innovation.”

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Permianville Royalty Trust (NYSE: PVL, the “Trust”) today announced a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $0.058000 per unit, payable on January 17, 2023 to unitholders of record on December 30, 2022. The net profits interest calculation represents reported oil production for the month of September 2022 and reported natural gas production during August 2022. The calculation includes accrued costs incurred in October 2022.

The following table displays reported underlying oil and natural gas sales volumes and average received wellhead prices attributable to the current and prior month recorded net profits interest calculations.

Recorded oil cash receipts from the oil and gas properties underlying the Trust (the “Underlying Properties”) totaled $3.5 million for the current month on realized wellhead prices of $94.66/Bbl, down $0.6 million from the prior month’s oil cash receipts.

Recorded natural gas cash receipts from the Underlying Properties totaled $1.8 million for the current month on realized wellhead prices of $7.20/Mcf, up $0.8 million from the prior month.

Total accrued operating expenses for the period were $2.3 million, a decrease of $0.5 million from the prior period. Capital expenditures increased $0.1 million from the prior period to $0.5 million.

As previously disclosed, COERT Holdings 1 LLC (the “Sponsor”) has established a $1.0 million cash reserve for approved, future development expenses. As operators of the Underlying Properties are still preparing their capital expenditure budgets for the upcoming fiscal year, and given current commodity price volatility, the Sponsor has informed the Trustee that it plans to continue to maintain the $1.0 million reserve to fund incremental future development expenses; however, if those expenses are ultimately delayed or are less than expected, or if the outlook changes, amounts reserved but unspent will be released as an incremental cash distribution in a future period.

About Permianville Royalty Trust

Permianville Royalty Trust is a Delaware statutory trust formed to own a net profits interest representing the right to receive 80% of the net profits from the sale of oil and natural gas production from certain, predominantly non-operated, oil and gas properties in the states of Texas, Louisiana and New Mexico. As described in the Trust’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the amount of the periodic distributions is expected to fluctuate, depending on the proceeds received by the Trust as a result of actual production volumes, oil and gas prices, the amount and timing of capital expenditures, and the Trust’s administrative expenses, among other factors. Future distributions are expected to be made on a monthly basis. For additional information on the Trust, please visit www.permianvilleroyaltytrust.com.

Forward-Looking Statements and Cautionary Statements

This press release contains statements that are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements contained in this press release, other than statements of historical facts, are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of these provisions. These forward-looking statements include the amount and date of any anticipated distribution to unitholders, expectations regarding the cash reserve for future development expenses and expectations regarding current and future capital expenditures and development activities on the Underlying Properties. The anticipated distribution is based, in large part, on the amount of cash received or expected to be received by the Trust from the Sponsor with respect to the relevant period. The amount of such cash received or expected to be received by the Trust (and its ability to pay distributions) has been and will continue to be directly affected by the volatility in commodity prices, which have experienced significant fluctuation since the beginning of 2020 as a result of a variety of factors that are beyond the control of the Trust and the Sponsor. Low oil and natural gas prices will reduce profits to which the Trust is entitled, which will reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to unitholders and in certain periods could result in no distributions to unitholders. Other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include expenses of the Trust, reserves for anticipated future expenses and the effect, impact, potential duration or other implications of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, future monthly capital expenditures may exceed the average levels experienced in 2021 and prior periods. Statements made in this press release are qualified by the cautionary statements made in this press release. Neither the Sponsor nor the Trustee intends, and neither assumes any obligation, to update any of the statements included in this press release. An investment in units issued by the Trust is subject to the risks described in the Trust’s filings with the SEC, including the risks described in the Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 25, 2022. The Trust’s quarterly and other filed reports are or will be available over the Internet at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#KBRA--KBRA assigns ratings of ‘AAA’ for the Senior Notes (the “Notes”) and ‘A+’ for the Mandatory Redeemable Preferred Shares (“MRPS”) issued by Tortoise Pipeline & Energy Fund, Inc. (NYSE: TTP) (“TTP” or the “Fund”). Additionally, KBRA assigns a ‘Stable’ Outlook to the Notes and MRPS.


The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “’40 Act”) and is a closed-end investment fund sponsored by Tortoise Capital Advisors, LLC. The Fund had its Initial Public Offering in October 2011 and its shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol TTP. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of pipeline companies that transport natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs), crude oil and refined products and, to a lesser extent, in other energy infrastructure companies.

Key Credit Considerations
The rating is driven primarily by TTP’s asset coverage, liquidity, and management experience. Since inception through November 2022, the Fund has average senior and total asset coverage of 533% and 408%. Excluding one breach of asset coverage levels in March 2020 as a result of the market volatility experienced during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and decline in crude oil prices, TTP has remained in compliance with the 1940 Act requirements.

Rating Sensitivities
Changes in asset coverage can occur throughout the life of a transaction. These variations can often be driven by changes to the fund’s NAV, which can be due to actual or anticipated defaults and losses, as well as reassessment of the underlying asset values. The KBRA ratings process, however, incorporates a certain amount of tolerance to changes in asset coverage levels. A deterioration in asset coverage levels below ’40 Act requirements and the Fund manager’s inability to liquidate assets and demonstrate intention to cure within the allowed 30-day period could impact the current ratings.

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SES AI Corporation (“SES AI”) (NYSE: SES), a global leader in the development and manufacturing of high-performance Li-Metal batteries for electric vehicles (EV) and other applications, hosted its second annual Battery World event and announced its progress towards the commercialization of its Li-Metal battery technology.

During his Keynote speech, Dr. Qichao Hu, Founder and CEO of SES AI, disclosed the Company’s new facility in Chungju, South Korea. Equipped with expanded in-house manufacturing capability, the new facility further enhances SES AI’s global cell engineering capability, serving as a strong complement to SES AI’s Shanghai Giga in the steady production of large-format 50Ah and 100Ah Li-Metal cells. The added manufacturing capacity in South Korea will also strengthen ties with SES AI’s joint development agreement OEMs, GM, Hyundai and Honda.

Through the development of enhanced engineering capability, the initial data of SES AI’s large-format cells continue to show encouraging potential of Li-Metal chemistry. The 50Ah cells boast excellent performance in cold weather climates of -30oC and in high power discharge under room temperature, both achieved at a high energy density. In terms of safety, the 50Ah cells passed third-party abuse tests including nail penetration, overcharge, external short circuit and thermal stability. SES AI believes it is the first Li-Metal battery manufacturer in the world to secure the UN38.3 transport certification for large-format Li-Metal cells.

Hu also showcased a video featuring a successful Electric Vertical Take Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft test flight powered by SES AI's 100Ah Li-Metal battery pack and AI-powered safety software Avatar. “Li-Metal is not an individual technology or a collection of individual technologies, it has to be a system.” said Hu. SES AI’s systemic approach is key to its leadership in next generation battery technology. The Avatar software collects data across the manufacturing process - from raw materials to applications for battery health monitoring. SES AI has been training data of 4Ah Li-Metal cells since 2019 with the accuracy of failure prediction approaching nearly 99%. With large-format cells, the failure prediction went from 0 to 60% in only a few months with much room for optimization.

“We have learned a lot this year, in particular the importance of building a robust supply chain to achieving commercialization of Li-Metal battery technology. We have taken meaningful steps towards having more control over our supply chain, and are excited by how it will accelerate the development of our batteries in 2023. The electric vehicle revolution is coming, and the more we can all do to diversify the global supply chain, the sooner it will arrive.” said Hu.

Strategies Can Be Replicated Nationwide to Power New Economy

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Global energy transition management consulting firm Partners in Performance announced it was tapped by the Center for Houston’s Future (CHF) to assess Houston’s potential as a hub for hydrogen and hydrogen equipment manufacturing. The resulting report, “Houston’s Future as a Global Center for Clean Hydrogen Manufacturing, Recycling, and Electrolysis” offers an in-depth analysis of the city’s strategic advantages for becoming a global hydrogen energy hub.


Its findings conclude establishing a global hydrogen hub for hydrogen electrolyzers, storage, and delivery infrastructure is a massive economic opportunity for Houston. It offers recommendations to cement Houston’s leadership in the hydrogen energy ecosystem across the United States and potentially the world.

“Houston is a global center for the energy industry, from exploration & production to finance and infrastructure,” said Brett Perlman, CEO at Center for Houston’s Future. “As the world moves to clean, renewable energy Houston’s commercial and industrial base must transition to producing and delivering the green hydrogen energy that will be as vital to our energy future as fossil fuels are today.”

The U.S. is projected to exceed 100 Megatons of hydrogen manufacturing per year, approximately 20% of the global market. Houston is well-suited to play an outsized role in the U.S due to infrastructure, warehousing and logistics, and a highly skilled labor pool.

The study found other regions in the U.S. similar to Houston could spring up as “hydrogen opportunity zones” and provide similar and complementary services and industries.

“Partners in Performance is proud to support the Center for Houston’s Future in their foundational role in the Hydrogen Economy,” said Chris Millican, director. “We are convinced that Greater Houston is uniquely positioned to be a pathfinder for companies scaling up production within the electrolyzer manufacturing and hydrogen supply value chain. The report indicates it has a head-start and strengths in the H2 market to allow existing and new companies to break through challenges and establish a growth base for this new opportunity.”

The first steps in Houston’s path toward its hydrogen future involve electrolyzer manufacturing, an industry already underway in the area. The report examines other industry-adjacent concerns, and outlines paths Houston and other cities can take to ensure the US remains a leader in clean energy production for decades to come.

The full report, “Houston’s Future as a Global Center for Clean Hydrogen Manufacturing, Recycling, and Electrolysis” is available at www.centerforhoustonsfuture.org/electrolysis.

A new report by Validere’s Market Fundamentals Team assesses the environmental impacts of potential natural gas projects.

HOUSTON & CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#emissions--In the latest Validere Insights report, Validere’s Market Fundamentals Team finds that, despite facing public and political challenges to the natural gas industry’s climate benefits, proposed Appalachia-to-Southeast pipelines may provide tangible emissions reduction opportunities.



The report examines the market and environmental impacts of projects such as the canceled Atlantic Coast Pipeline (ACP) and delayed Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP), and how they could reduce CO2-equivalent emissions as well as reduce the region’s reliance on coal.

“The burner-tip emissions benefits of ACP and MVP more than outweigh the methane emissions associated with their added gas production,” says Amber McCullagh, Senior Advisor at Validere and an author on the report. “We estimate that MVP and ACP would reduce CO2-equivalent emissions by approximately 8 and 14 Mmt annually, respectively, the equivalent of taking approximately 1.7 million and 3 million cars off the road.”

Additionally, the team analyzes the likely full value chain methane emissions rate for Appalachian gas, using a synthesis of measurement-based national and regional studies to get the full picture of Appalachian producers and midstream operators’ impact on the environment.

The report’s main findings include:

  • How new pipelines reroute flows of gas, electricity and even refined products and LNG: that added capacity by ACP would lead to year-round coal displacement and near-term growth in Appalachian gas production, whereas in the near term MVP would mostly displace winter coal generation and reshuffle Appalachian gas flows.
  • Natural gas pipeline reform, such as that proposed by Sen. Joe Manchin, is likely to lead to major reductions in CO2-equivalent emissions, across a range of plausible methane emissions estimates for induced gas production.
  • Why producers and midstream operators need to embrace measurement-based emissions estimates to better quantify the emissions benefits of new gas pipelines and improve the environmental credibility of pipeline projects.

“When accounting for the climate impacts of natural gas pipelines, you need to look at the full picture,” says McCullagh. “Natural gas pipeline development induces changes across the value chain, including in natural gas production, gas pipeline flows, gas- and coal-fired power generation, and even flows of LNG and refined products.”

HOUSTON & VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Chevron New Energies (CNE), a division of Chevron U.S.A. Inc., and Svante announced that Chevron is the lead investor in Svante’s Series E fundraising round, which raised $318 million that will be used to accelerate the manufacturing of Svante’s carbon capture technology.



“We are advancing a full value chain carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) business and believe Svante is poised to be a leader in enabling carbon capture solutions,” said Chris Powers, vice president of CCUS with CNE. “Innovation is key to enabling these types of breakthrough technologies and lower carbon solutions, and we look forward to applying our experience and expertise to help drive this effort forward.”

Since its founding in 2007, Svante has developed carbon capture and removal technology using structured adsorbent beds, known as filters. This funding will support Svante’s commercial-scale filter manufacturing facility in Vancouver, which is anticipated to produce enough filter modules to capture millions of tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year across hundreds of large-scale carbon capture and storage facilities.

“We are proud that Chevron and a group of existing and new strategic and financial investors have demonstrated their confidence in Svante to be a key player in building a commercially viable carbon management industry,” said Claude Letourneau, President and CEO of Svante. “We are working to remove the biggest barriers to rapid deployment of industrial carbon capture by building this manufacturing facility, which we expect will enable us to rapidly expand our order book.”

The size and cost of installing carbon capture technology has been a barrier to industry adoption. Svante’s modular solid sorbent technology is designed to capture CO2 from industrial flue gas. It then concentrates it into a high-purity, 95-percent pipeline-grade CO2 to prepare it for storage or further industrial use. Its approach is tailored specifically to the challenges of separating CO₂ from nitrogen in diluted flue gas, which is typically emitted at low pressures, and in dilute concentrations. Svante’s technology is targeted toward industrial decarbonization activities in fields including hydrogen, pulp and paper, lime, cement, steel, aluminum, and chemicals. Svante’s filters are also available for direct air capture and carbon dioxide removal.

In 2021, Chevron launched CNE to accelerate lower carbon business opportunities in CCUS, hydrogen, renewable fuels and products, offsets, and emerging technologies. Chevron plans to invest $10 billion in lower carbon projects through 2028 and remains committed to collaborating in new ways to accelerate progress.

Chevron Technology Ventures made an initial investment in Svante in 2014. In 2020, Chevron launched a project to pilot Svante technology to capture CO2 from post combustion of natural gas. The project has received funding from the U.S. Department of Energy (project #DE-FE0031944). In collaboration with Svante and the National Energy Technology Laboratory, the technology will be tested at Chevron’s Kern River facility in San Joaquin Valley, California, with startup underway this month.

Other fundraising round participants include existing shareholders Temasek, OGCI Climate Investments, Delek US and Hesta AG, and new investors, 3M Ventures (the venture capital arm of 3M Company), Full Circle Capital, GE Vernova, Japan Energy Fund, Liberty Media, M&G Catalyst, Samsung Engineering, TechEnergy Ventures and United Airlines Ventures. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC served as Svante’s lead placement agent with RBC Capital Markets as co-lead placement agent. Full Circle Capital acted as financial advisor to Svante in connection with the transaction.

About Svante

Svante offers companies in emission-intensive industries a commercially viable way to capture large-scale CO2 emissions from existing infrastructure, either for safe storage or to be used for further industrial use in a closed loop. With the ability to capture CO2 from industrial sources and directly from the atmosphere in an environmentally sustainable way, Svante makes industrial-scale carbon capture and carbon removal a reality. Svante’s Board of Directors includes Nobel Laureate and former Secretary of Energy, Steven Chu. To learn more about Svante, click here or visit www.svanteinc.com.
