Excelsior Energy Capital has entered into a multiyear partnership with Proximal Energy, with the aim of utilizing Proximal’s AI platform to optimize Excelsior’s portfolio of energy storage assets.

Proximal’s platform is expected to introduce Excelsior to the provider’s Agentic Asset Management, a system powered by generative AI models that is meant to assist asset managers and O&M providers. The company says these digital “agents” have access to all project-related documents, allowing them to answer pertinent questions. Additionally, the agents can analyze time-series data when requested, offering users the ability to investigate outages and underperformance events and to calculate KPIs.

“Excelsior’s decision to partner with Proximal represents a considerable advancement in how we manage and optimize energy storage assets, and we are proud to help guide the renewable energy industry’s innovation on this vital front,” says Chris Frantz, partner and head of Operations at Excelsior Energy Capital.

“This partnership aligns with our vision to leverage next-generation AI technologies to streamline asset management, reduce operational overhead and ensure the long-term performance of our projects.”

This announcement follows a series of initiatives by Excelsior. In July, the firm announced a 2.2 GWh agreement with Fluence Energy to utilize domestically manufactured battery cells in its U.S. energy storage projects. In April, it announced a 2 GW agreement with Heliene for domestically produced solar panels. 

Earlier this year, Excelsior launched Lydian Energy, an independent power producer specializing in the development, construction and operation of utility-scale solar and battery energy storage projects across North America.

We’re Running Out of Time

There really are threats to human civilization that seem to be mounting in intensity:

• World fascism.  (If it can happen in the U.S., it could conceivably happen anywhere.)

• Environmental collapse.

• Malicious use of AI.

• Pandemics, as misinformation on vaccinations spread and the frozen tundra melts, releasing pathogens never seen by humans.

• Nuclear war.

Addressing the point made at left, is there any scenario in which world governments agree to cooperate so as to stave off the end of an organized society here on Earth?  One supposes so, though it sounds far-fetched in today’s world in which the leaders of most of the 200+ sovereign nations are trying so desperately to cling to power.

Obviously, James Carville has been wrong before, but it appears that he’s onto something here.

An ever-increasing number of Americans are realizing that Trump is criminally insane, and is leading this nation to destruction.

The Economics of Climate Change Mitigation

It’s a pleasure to see that Dr. Brian Cox has people so popular, having joined the ranks for Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye, and a few others.  This phenomenon of celebrity physicists if one of very few bright spots in our modern world.

I would qualify what he says at left as follows: the only people who hate the economics here are those invested in fossil fuels.  Clean energy and transportation are already huge industries, and they’re growing at an amazing pace–even in the face of heavy suppression by Big Oil and Donald Trump.
