Business Wire News

TULSA, Okla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Williams (NYSE: WMB) announced today that it recently delivered a record amount of natural gas on its Transco interstate pipeline, providing essential and reliable service to natural gas distribution companies, electric power generators, LNG exporters and other customers located along the Eastern Seaboard and Gulf Coast.


Transco, the nation’s largest-volume natural gas transmission system, delivered a record-breaking 17.15 million dekatherms (MMdt) on Jan. 3, 2022. The new peak-day mark surpasses the previous high that was set on Feb. 20, 2020. While extreme winter weather usually coincides with peak-day deliveries, the volume record this week was due to continued expansions on Transco to serve the growing demands for U.S. natural gas.

To meet this demand, Williams has nearly tripled contracted capacity on Transco to approximately 18.7 MMdt/d in 2021 (from 6.6 MMdt/d in 2008) primarily through incremental growth projects along Transco’s existing footprint. Leidy South was the most recently completed expansion project to maximize the use of Transco’s existing corridor and minimize environmental impacts.

The value of safe, dependable natural gas infrastructure becomes abundantly clear when millions of homes, businesses and manufacturing facilities across the United States need reliable, low-cost energy more than ever,” said Alan Armstrong, president and chief executive officer of Williams. “We are proud to deliver this critical service all year long and especially during winter periods of peak demand when it is most appreciated. I want to thank our teams for their dedication to safe and efficient execution on projects while also keeping our operations running smoothly so Williams can be there for our customers as they work to bring clean, affordable and reliable natural gas to consumers.”

Transco is the nation’s largest-volume interstate natural gas pipeline system. It delivers natural gas to customers through its approximately 10,000-mile pipeline network whose mainline extends approximately 1,800 miles between South Texas and New York City. The system is a major provider of cost-effective natural gas services that reach U.S. markets in 12 Southeast and Atlantic Seaboard states, including major metropolitan areas in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

$92 million secured in financing and tax equity funding

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Leeward Renewable Energy, LLC (Leeward) today announced the company has successfully completed the full-scale repower of its Crescent Ridge Wind Project (“Crescent Ridge”) located in Tiskilwa, Illinois.


The 54.4 megawatt (MW) Crescent Ridge repower included decommissioning nine turbines, repowering 24 legacy turbines and constructing four new turbines. The upgrades utilize the latest Vestas technology, enhancing turbine capacity, reliability and performance, while reducing operating costs.

Wells Fargo served as coordination lead arranger, administrative agent, and collateral agent on the $92 million financing for the project, including a construction plus a five-year term loan, tax equity bridge loan, and a letter of credit facility, along with a commitment to provide tax equity. Concurrently with the completion of construction, the construction loan converted to a five-year term loan, and the tax equity bridge loan was discharged with proceeds from the funding of Wells Fargo’s tax equity commitment. Santander Bank, N.A. served as joint lead arranger.

The project will help Amazon meet its Climate Pledge commitment to reach net-zero carbon by 2040 and get one step closer to powering its operations with 100% renewable energy by 2025, 5 years ahead of the original 2030 target.

“We are pleased that our Crescent Ridge project is operational and are proud to have provided jobs and other economic benefits to the Tiskilwa community throughout the construction and repower process,” said Leeward VP of Project Management and Construction, Sam Mangrum. “I would like to thank the local landowners for their support and look forward to continue working closely with them in the years to come.”

“This project gave Leeward the opportunity to work with multiple new and existing partners,” added Chris Loehr, Chief Financial Officer at Leeward. “We were thrilled to continue our strong relationship with Wells Fargo and Santander in financing the construction and ongoing operations. The respective commitments made by these established companies demonstrates their confidence in our technology and team to deliver clean, reliable energy.”

  • Million-mile all-electric milestone based on customer-driven miles driven on customer-owned vehicles
  • Miles logged throughout the US and Canada on nine different vehicle platforms
  • Milestone includes only real-world, 100% zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) miles
  • Lightning’s growing ZEV fleet logging miles at a rate of over 25,000 miles per month, expected to accelerate

LOVELAND, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$ZEV #boxtrucks--Lightning eMotors (NYSE: ZEV), a leading provider of medium-duty and specialty commercial electric vehicles for fleets, today announced that its customer fleets have surpassed one million miles driven. The million-mile milestone represents Lightning’s on-road, fully electric, customer-owned and operated fleet vehicles. When Lightning’s former low-emission powertrains are included, the company’s customer-owned and operated fleets have driven more than four million miles.



The one million all-electric miles were logged on roads and highways across the United States and Canada on nine different vehicle platforms ranging from Class 3 through Class 7, and six different vertical market applications such as ambulances, cargo vans, delivery trucks, school buses, shuttle buses and transit buses. Lightning eMotors is currently accumulating zero-emission miles at over 25,000 miles per month. As Lightning accelerates its delivery of additional zero-emission vehicles, that rate will continue to rise. The single Lightning vehicle with the most road time now has over 54,000 all-electric miles.

By removing one million internal combustion vehicle miles from the road, Lightning eMotors has prevented approximately 900 tons of CO2 from being emitted into the atmosphere.

“Lighting has been putting zero-emission commercial vehicles on the road for over four years,” said Nick Bettis, director of marketing and sales operations. “We see this acceleration in fleet miles accumulation as the ultimate customer validation.”

Real-time mileage data was collected via the Lightning eMotors Telematics and Analytics system that is integrated with all Lightning vehicles and powertrains.

“It's important to note that this milestone was reached using only real-world data from zero emission all-electric vehicles,” Kash Sethi, chief revenue officer for Lightning eMotors said. “Many alternative fuel manufacturers who are only now pivoting to all-electric include hybrid or CNG miles in their marketing claims, and most also include dynamometer-simulated miles that don’t take into account on-road and seasonal driving conditions. That makes a big difference when it comes to evaluating how a vehicle is really performing. When you buy a zero-emission vehicle from Lightning eMotors, you can be assured it has been put through its paces.”

About Lightning eMotors:

Lightning eMotors (NYSE: ZEV) has been providing specialized and sustainable fleet solutions since 2009, deploying complete zero-emission-vehicle (ZEV) solutions for commercial fleets since 2018 – including Class 3 cargo and passenger vans, ambulances, Class 4 and 5 cargo vans and shuttle buses, Class 4 Type A school buses, Class 6 work trucks, Class 7 city buses, and Class A motor coaches. The Lightning eMotors team designs, engineers, customizes, and manufactures zero-emission vehicles to support the wide array of fleet customer needs with a full suite of control software, telematics, analytics, and charging solutions to simplify the buying and ownership experience and maximize uptime and energy efficiency.

Modern Energy and Industrial Sun join forces to scale solar for C&I customers

DURHAM, N.C. & AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#ENERGYTRANSITION--Modern Energy announced today an investment of $30 million into the launch and multi-year deployment of Industrial Sun, an Austin-based utility-scale solar developer.


Industrial Sun founders Dan Seif and Wade Gungoll bring decades of experience in the energy industry, and collectively the senior team at Industrial Sun has successfully executed multiple gigawatts of project development, power sales, and financings for large-scale power projects. Industrial Sun is focused on providing power projects that create dramatic cost savings for large energy-using facilities.

“Modern’s experience developing, aggregating, and marketing assets across multiple technologies and regulatory regimes, along with their track record for building novel development platforms from inception to scale, was important to us in looking for a partner,” said Dan Seif. “Modern understands the challenges associated with development. We are confident their world-class operations team will contribute to our success in this competitive environment.”

“This partnership is based on a shared cultural alignment and a long-term orientation, which we believe are necessary to achieve a significant impact on the energy transition,” said Jazib Hasan of Modern Energy. “Today, many developers find themselves with a large and eager universe of buyers ready to purchase and operate portfolios but limited capital to help them build their operation. We act as a bridge between early-stage and operational assets.”

The Modern Energy team leverages deep functional expertise to support the rapid growth and effective market deployment of its portfolio companies. Industrial Sun is already thoroughly engaged in project development activities, including contracting optimal locations for assets, securing necessary permits, de-risking projects through engineering studies, navigating the interconnection process, and securing power offtake agreements. Modern provides Industrial Sun with world-class commercial, operational, and capital markets support, as it does with its other portfolio development companies.

Kirk Bedell and Jazib Hasan led the transaction for Modern Energy. Before joining Modern, Bedell spent a decade building clean energy development businesses across the United States — most recently, he established and led the distributed generation development business at Brookfield Asset Management and formerly built and led commercial strategy for General Electric’s distributed solar development business, which Blackrock acquired in 2019.

Before Modern, Hasan raised and invested capital in energy, infrastructure, renewables, and commodities — most recently at Citibank as its Head of Commodities Structured Finance and Credit Solutions. Prior to that, Hasan held similar executive roles at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Shell Energy North America and Deutsche Bank.

  • Commits to carbon neutrality in company operations by 2030
  • Accelerates commitment to 100% renewable energy

PARSIPPANY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$ZTS #DrivenToCare--Zoetis Inc. (NYSE:ZTS), the world’s leading animal health company, has refreshed its Driven to Care sustainability aspirations for mitigating the company’s climate impact and environmental effects on the planet. Focusing first on its own operations, Zoetis is striving to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030. This includes accelerating the company’s commitment to Renewable Energy 100 (RE100) to use 100% renewable energy in its operations. The company’s updated commitments are underscored by investments in technology and a strong governance structure.


“Our vision is to be the most sustainable animal health company in the world, and we are proud to be the first stand-alone animal health company to commit to carbon neutrality by 2030,” said Jeannette Ferran Astorga, Executive Vice President, Corporate Affairs, Communications and Sustainability at Zoetis. “Launching our expanded climate strategy reflects an evolution of our journey. As we live our purpose to nurture the world and humankind by advancing care for animals, we are focused on stewarding resources responsibly and minimizing our own operations’ impact on the environment to help protect our planet.”

Advancing the company’s accelerated goal to use 100% renewable energy in its operations by 2030, Zoetis has initiated a formal approach to procuring renewable energy through power purchase agreements, including a new 15-year virtual power purchase agreement with Vesper Energy, which will generate more than 40 megawatts of renewable energy to power approximately 33% of Zoetis’ North American operations’ projected energy needs. These efforts are focused in North America because it represents approximately 75% of the company’s global electricity consumption.

As another step in its sustainability journey, the company’s diagnostics site in San Diego is operating on 100% renewable electricity, which means 9 of the company’s 28 manufacturing sites, along with the company’s three PHARMAQ sites in Norway, are operating on 100% renewable energy now. Additionally, Zoetis’ offices in Zaventem, Belgium, and Dublin, Ireland – the company’s largest offices outside of the United States – are now being powered by 100% renewable electricity.

Key energy efficiency projects have included ongoing optimization of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment as well as a continuous program to improve lighting efficiency with LED bulbs. Zoetis also continues to invest in updated technology to be more energy efficient at its manufacturing sites; one recent example is retrofitting a spray dryer at the company’s Chicago Heights, Illinois, manufacturing site, resulting in a 10% reduction in energy consumption. The company also has progressed energy efficiency at its research and development locations. A program at its global research and development headquarters in Kalamazoo, Michigan, delivered 8,000 gigajoules of savings in 2021, and an ongoing project to deploy photovoltaic solar panels at its Thane site in India will deliver up to 5% of site electricity requirements.

To further manage and achieve its carbon neutrality targets, Zoetis is focused on procurement activities to electrify more of its fleet of vehicles, improve on its energy efficiency annually, offset the final share of Scope 1 and 2 emissions, and create greater transparency into Scope 3 emissions.

In recognition of its progress on sustainability, Zoetis was named one of Newsweek’s Most Responsible Companies for 2022 and was included in Investor’s Business Daily’s 100 Best ESG Companies. In 2021, the company announced its Driven to Care long-term sustainability strategy and goals followed by its first Sustainability Report. Zoetis will continue to share updates on its sustainability activities, including progress against its Driven to Care goals, and report annually.

About Zoetis

As the world’s leading animal health company, Zoetis is driven by a singular purpose: to nurture our world and humankind by advancing care for animals. After 70 years innovating ways to predict, prevent, detect, and treat animal illness, Zoetis continues to stand by those raising and caring for animals worldwide -- from livestock farmers to veterinarians and pet owners.

Initiative Demonstrates Iteris’ Continuous Role as Trusted Advisor to FDOT and Public Transportation Agencies Nationwide

  • Statewide program will enable FDOT to communicate critical travel information to the traveling public, state and local government entities, private-sector partners, and other stakeholders.
  • Initiative leverages Iteris’ expertise to prepare cities and states for advancements in connected and automated vehicle technology.
  • Four-year deal marks further expansion of Iteris’ specialized consulting services in Florida, a key geographic market.

SANTA ANA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$ITI #IoT--Iteris, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITI), the global leader in smart mobility infrastructure management, today announced that it has been selected by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) as part of the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) team to develop a connected vehicle data exchange platform, representing the further expansion of Iteris’ specialized consulting services in Florida, a key geographic market.



The data exchange platform will enable FDOT to analyze real-time road conditions and communicate critical travel information to the traveling public, state and local government entities, private-sector partners, and other stakeholders.

The FDOT project is among the first in the United States to develop a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) data exchange, capturing data from thousands of devices across connected and automated vehicle (CAV) and smart mobility infrastructure networks. A key objective of the project is to standardize the collection, analysis and sharing of data from several proprietary systems, which have different coding and encryption methodologies, and to make additional considerations for privacy and safety.

“The primary goal of this technology is to save lives and move people more efficiently on roadways by sharing real-time driving conditions,” said Michael A. Brown, a SwRI Intelligent Systems Division engineer overseeing the project. “This data exchange will lay the foundation for FDOT to send alerts to drivers and traffic managers to coordinate routing, road closures and emergency response.”

The exchange will capture anonymous data both from standardized onboard units communicating directly with FDOT-owned roadside units and from the proprietary data feeds of various car manufacturers. This connected vehicle data will be fused with a breadth of other data both from FDOT-owned infrastructure and third-party data feeds. This stream of enriched data will be the basis for real-time and historic analysis, leveraging a combination of machine learning and traditional algorithms.

“We are thrilled to join the team responsible for developing this vital V2X data sharing program for FDOT, which will improve safety, mobility and sustainability statewide,” said Anita Vandervalk, vice president, strategic business development at Iteris. “The V2X data exchange will enable FDOT to communicate critical travel information to the traveling public, state and local government entities, private-sector partners, and other stakeholders.”

In addition to Iteris, participants in the FDOT program include Ford Mobility, which will supply V2X data from its connected vehicle platform; Florida International University; Amazon Web Services; Google; and several OEMs, and logistics and fleet companies.

This project is in line with several CAV and V2X deployments Iteris is working on across the U.S. – including oversight of pilot deployments, smart work zones, advanced pedestrian detection and automated commercial vehicle inspections. Iteris also led the development and evolution of the U.S. ITS architecture reference for over three decades, initiating the Connected Vehicle Reference Implementation Architecture in 2012 and continuing to support the evolution of the combined ARC-IT for the US Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration.

About Iteris, Inc.

Iteris is the global leader in smart mobility infrastructure management – the foundation for a new era of mobility. We apply cloud computing, artificial intelligence, advanced sensors, advisory services and managed services to achieve safe, efficient and sustainable mobility.

ANAHEIM, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$WLDN--Willdan Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: WLDN) announced today that it has completed the development of New York City’s Local Law 97 (LL97) Implementation Action Plan. The implementation action plan recommends specific, scalable steps to achieve the goals set out in the legislation, and the City has committed a budget of nearly $4 billion over the next nine years to invest in New York City’s assets, facilities, and energy supply.


Passed in 2019, LL97 is among the most ambitious climate legislation in the U.S. and mandates unprecedented, near-term greenhouse gas emissions reductions for New York City’s portfolio of government and private buildings. A key component of LL97 is that it requires City operations to reduce emissions 40% by 2025 and 50% by 2030, compared to a 2006 baseline. Willdan worked with the New York City Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) to create an action plan to achieve these carbon emissions reduction targets.

The action plan calls for a broad set of interventions, including:

  • investments in cost-effective emissions reduction opportunities;
  • converting more municipal buildings’ heating to electric power;
  • expanded solar installations to generate 100 MW of solar power on City properties annually by 2025;
  • 100% renewable electricity to power city government operations by 2026;
  • energy and emissions reduction projects at wastewater and water treatment facilities; and
  • electric vehicles and renewable fuels for New York City’s vehicle fleet.

“These record investments reflect the City’s unwavering commitment to fighting the climate crisis,” said Dawn M. Pinnock, Acting Commissioner of the NYC Department of Citywide Administrative Services. “Climate change is happening now, and city government must be aggressive in taking steps now to reduce emissions and break its dependence on fossil fuels.”

“The Local Law 97 Implementation Action Plan is the culmination of a year-long effort to outline a path forward for New York City to achieve the ambitious emissions reduction targets mandated by Local Law 97 of 2019,” said Anthony Fiore, Deputy Commissioner for Energy Management at the NYC Department of Citywide Administrative Services. “The DCAS Division of Energy Management is grateful to the many stakeholders across the City, including all City agencies and the Mayor’s Office of Climate and Sustainability, for their partnership in this effort.”

“The creation of this plan showcases Willdan’s multi-disciplinary approach to projects,” said Tom Brisbin, Willdan’s CEO and Chairman. “The project management and plan development were led by our most recent addition to the Willdan family – Energy and Environmental Economics (E3) – due to their expertise in decarbonization planning. Our engineers had already been working throughout City buildings and provided insight on technical feasibility and technologies. And finally, our proprietary software applications – NEO and B3 – allowed us to rapidly and efficiently model and benchmark City buildings for evaluation.”

About the New York City Department of Citywide Administrative Services
The Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) ensures that all New York City agencies have the critical resources and support needed to provide the best possible services to the public. DCAS does this in part, through working with City agencies with needs in recruiting, hiring and training; providing facilities management for 56 public buildings; purchasing, selling and leasing city property; purchasing over $1 billion in supplies and equipment annually; and implementing conservation programs throughout City facilities. Follow DCAS on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.

TULSA, Okla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Empire Petroleum Corporation (“Empire”) (OTCQB:EMPR), an operator of conventional oil and gas properties, announced today that certain debt holders have now converted 100% of their remaining debt along with accrued interest into Empire common shares.

The purchase of XTO Energy’s Eunice-Monument and Arrowhead Grayburg Fields by Empire made on May 14, 2021, was financed with a combination of cash and a Senior Secured Convertible Note issued to Energy Evolution Master Fund, Ltd. (“EEF”) in the amount of $16.25 million. Since that time, Empire has paid down debt from available cash, and EEF partially converted additional principal and accrued interest in Q3 2021. On December 30, 2021, EEF converted the remaining $5.77 million of principal and accrued interest into 4,616,343 shares. The elimination of EEF’s debt removes a substantial debt liability from Empire’s balance sheet while also eliminating over $200K in annual interest payments. Empire’s only remaining long-term institutional debt is a $7.1 million loan from CrossFirst Bank.

“We have made significant progress transforming the total balance sheet by repositioning approximately $24 million of short term debt to long term debt in 2021, and now have reduced long term debt to $7 million with the added benefits of saving interest payments, increasing positive cash flow and building a core group of assets that we believe are significantly scalable,” said Mike Morrisett, President of Empire.

"Energy Evolution Fund is an absolute supporter of Empire Petroleum Corporation and the Empire shareholders. We believe that this step of debt reduction will position Empire to have the strongest balance sheet in its history,” stated Sterling Mulacek, Manager of Energy Evolution Fund. “Energy Evolution Fund’s transaction will underpin the largest shift of freed up capital to improve Empire’s organic growth and income for quarters to come.”

Empire CEO Tommy Pritchard added, “Energy Evolution Fund’s commitment to Empire, through the conversion of its debt into equity, allows us to cycle capital to our most rewarding areas faster, creating a strong financial position to deliver substantial growth in 2022.”

Purchase of share of 92-megawatt wind project in southwestern Wisconsin will happen after construction is completed


MADISON, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Madison Gas and Electric (MGE), in partnership with Wisconsin Public Service (WPS), a subsidiary of WEC Energy Group, received approval from the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSCW) to purchase part of the Red Barn Wind Farm. MGE will own 9.1 megawatts (MW) of the 92-MW wind farm that will be built in the Towns of Wingville and Clifton in Grant County.

"The Red Barn Wind Farm will help MGE to meet future energy and capacity needs cost-effectively as we continue our ongoing transition to a more sustainable energy supply. We are working every day toward net-zero carbon electricity by 2050 for all our customers," said Jeff Keebler, MGE Chairman, President and CEO. "We have said since announcing our net-zero goal, if we can go further faster through partnerships with our customers and the evolution of new technologies, we will."

The Red Barn Wind Farm will be developed by PRC Wind and constructed by ALLETE Clean Energy. The approximately 12,000-acre project will feature 28 turbines. WPS will own the remaining 82.5 MW.

Construction is expected to begin this year, and the Red Barn Wind Farm is expected to begin serving customers by the end of the year. The project is expected to generate enough clean energy to power approximately 40,000 households. MGE's share of the project will power about 4,000 households.

Working toward net‐zero carbon electricity

MGE has reduced its carbon emissions 30% since 2005 and expects to achieve carbon reductions of at least 65% by 2030, consistent with global climate science to limit global warming. MGE continues to transition its energy supply to cleaner sources, with the anticipated addition of nearly 400 MW of wind, solar and battery storage between 2015 and 2024.

In May 2019, MGE announced its goal of net-zero carbon electricity by 2050, making it one of the first utilities in the nation to commit to net-zero carbon by mid-century. MGE's net-zero goal is consistent with climate science from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) October 2018 Special Report on limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. To achieve deep decarbonization, MGE is growing its use of renewable energy, engaging customers around energy efficiency and working to electrify transportation, all of which are key strategies identified by the IPCC.

About MGE

MGE generates and distributes electricity to 157,000 customers in Dane County, Wis., and purchases and distributes natural gas to 166,000 customers in seven south-central and western Wisconsin counties. MGE's parent company is MGE Energy, Inc. The company's roots in the Madison area date back more than 150 years.

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wallbox (NYSE:WBX), a leading provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging and energy management solutions worldwide, announced the expansion of its digital presence of CES to bring CES2022 and its innovations to the living rooms of technology enthusiasts around the world.


As part of its digital campaign the company has transformed the in-person immersive experience available at its 3000 square feet booth at CES into a virtual reality (VR) and 360 degree experience that can be viewed for free on their Youtube channel. The VR experience showcases the scope of technology and innovation that Wallbox is presenting in person at CES and is designed to allow people to see how its next generation technology can change the user's day-to-day life.

“Innovation can be hard to explain in words, so we really wanted to show people what we are doing. Our virtual reality experience allows people to understand how these relatively new technologies like vehicle to home (V2H) or sustainable energy management work in real life situations.” said Bárbara Calixto, CMO of Wallbox.

The company also plans to produce daily content to share more of what’s happening at the show with home viewers. Part of this content will be dedicated to presenting the two latest pieces of hardware being unveiled at the event.

Copper 2 - Wallbox will present its latest Business charger for the European market. With 22kW charging power, Copper 2 has been rigorously designed to close the gap in business charging needs, bringing a new take on Business EV charging.

Copper 2 is expected to begin production in Q3 2022.

Quasar 2 - the latest generation of its bidirectional home charger designed specifically for the North American market. As well as enabling EV owners to charge and discharge their electric vehicle to power their home or the grid, Wallbox’s latest innovation is designed to give EV drivers the ability to isolate their home from the grid and use their EV for backup power during a blackout.

“Wallbox continues to innovate pioneer technologies that make it easier for consumers all over the world to choose and adopt electric driving and the use of renewable energy in their daily lives. Quasar 2 and Copper 2 are our latest products designed to respond to the needs we anticipate as millions of people are expected to make this transition,” said Enric Asunción, CEO and co-founder of Wallbox. “We want to get people excited about our technology and show them how it is changing the way the world uses energy”

Through their digital content, the company will also give viewers insight into the design process behind Wallbox products, for which the company has been presented with many awards, including at CES2020. The company also plans to offer a tour of some of the hottest trends in the electric vehicle space at CES this year.
