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.

Apparently, this guy believes that the majority of Americans think poorly of Trump supporters, and wonders if this the message we want to send.

News flash: This is precisely the message we want to send.

I wonder what his doctorate is in.  Filth? Debauchery? White collar felonies?  War crimes?

What Does “Support” Actually Mean?

The idiot’s t-shirt shown here raises the question: How do you define the word “support?”

In a certain sense, I support all countries, insofar as the people living in each deserve to live freely.

As an American, I support the United States.  I revere it for its strengths, while I advocate for remedying its considerable set of weaknesses: corruption, injustice, racism, indifference to human suffering, militarism, and greed.

Stupidity and Racism: A Lethal Combination

BREAKING: Texas Republicans are flailing after a party nominee posted vile racist commentary and refused to take it back.
The firestorm started Sunday when Bo French, the GOP nominee for Texas Railroad Commissioner, posted a photo of University of Texas football fans, “most of them people of color,” writing that “the problem is now obviously far worse than anyone imagined,” according to Politico.
The post appeared to target South Asian students and sent Texas Republicans into a panic over the damage it could do “down the ballot,” including Attorney General Ken Paxton’s struggling Senate bid and Abbott’s own reelection.
Before the Republican party aligned itself with rank stupidity, tacit racism was not really a huge problem.  Now, however, we have the equivalent of mixing alcohol with opiates, a deadly combination, which has made the midterms very tough for the GOP–even in Texas.
