MIcrogrid Company GI Energy Becomes Endurant Energy with LS Power Acquisition

After launching in the United Kingdom, GI Energy started its US operations in 2011 with headquarters in Chicago. The company expanded from its initial focus on geothermal heat pumps into fuel cells, battery storage, microgrids and, more recently, batteries combined with solar as well as reciprocating engines for co-generation, said Tom Chadwick, Endurant CEO.
“What we found was we were an integrated house with one big gap, and that was capital,” he said.
Ultimately, a strong balance sheet is required to develop projects, according to Chadwick.
“You need it to be able to give the customer what they want, which I think is, increasingly, an alternative to utilities,” he said. Endurant’s projects range from single technology energy retrofits of historic landmarks to large-scale microgrids integrated with resource management and smart-city infrastructure.

Microgrid 2021: Reducing Costs and Gaining Local Control of Energy

By Heidi Besen/Shutterstock.com
Somewhere far off in another country, a hacker infiltrated a US energy company, crippling a fuel supply line that runs 5,500 miles from New York to Texas and leaving me, like others, unsure if I’d make it home from work on the gasoline left in my tank.
It is an example of the vulnerability of sole reliance on big energy.
Electric grids are the big energy equivalent of the fuel line on the power side of the energy industry. They carry electricity instead of fuel, but are subject to the same kind of far-reaching calamities because of a single point of failure. So far, we haven’t experienced massive power outages because of a cyberattack, but we have — again and again — because of storms, wildfires or something as simple as a tree branch falling on a wire in the wrong place.
