Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Inc. announced a ?500,000
equity investment in Moixa Energy Holdings, the UK's leading
residential battery company (CEO: Simon Daniel, Headquarters:
London).
"We are excited to welcome Moixa to our modest, but growing
portfolio of innovative companies," said Hirokazu Yamaguchi,
Executive General Manager, Global Innovation & Investments at
TEPCO. "Moixa has developed a robust battery storage and smart
energy-sharing platform. We look forward to gaining hands-on
experience for the benefit of our customers."
David Thomlinson, Chairman of Moixa and former Global Head of
Energy at Accenture, said, "Having previously worked with TEPCO, I
am particularly pleased to be able to partner with this leading
Japanese corporate, to bring the Moixa technology to new
markets."
The energy industry is undergoing a fundamental and disruptive
change enabled by new technologies and driven by customers.
Technologies such as distributed solar and batteries are enabling
innovative new ways of producing, consuming and sharing of energy.
This in turn is setting the stage for customers to increasingly and
proactively engage in the energy industry as "prosumers" who both
produce and consume energy.
Moixa offers a compact and affordable smart battery for residential
customers that helps households save money by storing spare solar
or cheap tariff electricity. In addition, their innovative
cloud-based GridShare platform helps manage and aggregate
distributed storage resources, and thereby, deliver grid services
and savings for the energy system.
