Valley Transportation Authority is committed to transitioning their fleet to 100% electric buses by 2036.
We’re building them a microgrid that will be lowering their electricity costs by 36%, providing 4+ of backup and lower emissions by 61%

We're excited to welcome David Vickerman as Scale's new Chief Financial Officer!
David brings 25+ years of energy and infrastructure finance experience to the team, including 12 years as CFO for private equity-backed energy infrastructure and power platform companies. Over his career, he has overseen more than $7 billion in financing for new projects, platforms, acquisitions, and divestments.
In his new role, David will lead finance, accounting, and capital markets across both our Commercial & Industrial (C&I) and Data Center Solutions platforms. He joins at a pivotal moment of rapid growth for Scale, as we pursue billions in new financing to power the next generation of on-site energy.
Welcome to the team, David!

Fun Fact: Santa Barbara is powered by one 40-mile power line through wildfire, earthquake and landslide terrain. Outages there last 2X longer than the rest of SoCal Edison.
That’s why Scale is building a solar + BESS + EV microgrid at Santa Barbara City College to convert it into a Community Resilience Hub that keeps the lights on, phones charger and medical care running when the grid goes down.
This is what community-scale energy security looks like.
☀️⚡️BREAKING:
Brand new 2.8 MW rooftop solar now live in Pennsylvania and projected to produce an insane 3.5M kWh/year.
The best part?
Mid-sized distributed solar projects like this one ease pressure on the grid by adding localized generation capacity where it’s needed and per Aurora Energy Research, could save Pennsylvania residents nearly $1 billion in electricity costs over the next decade by cutting wholesale power costs and buffering against natural gas price swings.
“Commercial real estate companies have a tremendous opportunity to drive energy affordability and reliability for their tenants and the entire grid,” said Kristel Watson, the head of Scale’s Commercial and Industrial business.

Meanwhile one of our microgrids in PJM generated a revenue of over $32k with an additional $230K from just being an available resource in the emergency capacity program.
So about $262K total from June 25' - May 26'
Nobody builds better microgrids than us.
New York: it's hot out there, and the power grid is working overtime to keep us cool.
Set your AC to 78 degrees, turn off lights/electronics you're not using, and unplug what you can.
Our City is doing its part too: maintaining the 78 degrees rule in our buildings, dimming/turning off our lights during peak electricity demand, asking private partners to do the same, and powering down non-essential equipment.
A stable grid means the AC stays on, and lives are saved. Let's ease demand — and get through the heat — together.
We’re looking to hire an exceptional Microgrid Controls Engineer.

On the same day @realDonaldTrump makes clear he intends for hyperscalers to bring their own power, we’ve posted the discussion on that very topic from DERVOS 2025 featuring:

Scale just surpassed $1 billion in project financing raised to date - a huge milestone that demonstrates not only the financial strength of our company but the importance of distributed energy for making energy more affordable and more resilient.⚡ businesswire.com/news/home/2…
DERVOS 2025 is finally announced!
Join us on October 17th on Governors Island for a day with 750 of locked in energ pros, founders, regulators, investors, and more.
We have a really special event in store for everyone this year.
We took an new industrial site in CA off-grid with solar, batteries, and gas.
Everyone said it wouldn't work.
After over a year of operations:
✅ faster and cheaper than grid interconnection
✅ positive savings (net of PPA and fuel)
✅ majority clean power
✅ 99%+ uptime
Stargate, the biggest proposed investment in AI data centers to date, is using solar, gas, and batteries for off-grid power.
Why? It’s fast and cheap and scalable.
Whitepaper vindicated. Goodbye haters.
ICYMI, @heatmap_news published a great interview with our @duncancampbell and @hausfath discussing their work proving out the extremely real, surprisingly practical, and wildly scalable potential for powering AI with massive off-grid solar data centers: heatmap.news/technology/data…
