End-of-Year Reflections: A Special Note from Angelo Campus, BoxPower’s Co-Founder and CEO

Happy Holidays!

With 2023 coming to a close, we at BoxPower would like to take a moment to thank you all for another great year. In collaboration with investor-owned utilities, Tribal communities, and other energy providers, BoxPower continues to grow as a leader in the Remote Grid space. Over the past year, BoxPower has achieved a remarkable milestone in closing a Series A and doubling in size.

Microgrids have been a top trending topic across the energy utility industry, and this year was no different. BoxPower’s Remote Grid deployments took center stage as a featured topic. In 2023, BoxPower presented at 10 conferences and appeared in 40 other media publications. Additionally, the co-presentation by BoxPower and PG&E at GridFWD 2023 achieved the highest audience score, and a story about PG&E and BoxPower’s first fully renewable Remote Grid has been recognized as the best-read article on Microgrid Knowledge in 2023!

Take a deeper look at some of our highlights here:

How BoxPower is Shaping the Future of Workforce Development through Solar Microgrids | BoxPower

• So far, BoxPower has created 45 jobs in rural economies and will generate over 400 more in the next five years.

In 2023, BoxPower’s launch of the Microgrid Integration Survey (MGIS) program marked a significant step in aiding utilities to identify sites for Remote Grid deployment. How can we help you accelerate your asset planning, hardening, and modernization initiatives in 2024?

Looking ahead to 2024, BoxPower is continuing to help energy providers avoid increasing distribution upgrade costs and disaster-related risk by replacing rural distribution lines with off-grid standalone power systems, with over 50+ projects in development with investor-owned utilities. So far, BoxPower has offset 39M pounds of CO2, generated 20M kWhrs of electricity, impacted 4,400 lives, and saved California ratepayers over $10M.
