Investing in Energy Efficiency

HENDERSON, NV / ACCESSWIRE / April 8, 2019 / As of 2016, global investment in energy efficiency was at $231 billion, as stated by International Energy Agency. That number could grow as Canada just pledged investment to Energy Efficiency and Climate Change Adaptation. Moreover, a new report out in March revealed that investing $500 billion in making U.S. residential and commercial buildings more energy efficient would benefit the planet, save money, and create millions of jobs.

Recently, the company closed on $5 million round of funding, engaged a firm to navigate their uplisting, and as far as currently operation go, announced the near completion of a $900k contract to install a CLSK microgrid at a U.S. Marine Corps Base and have been progressing on a $18.3 million deal with NYSE company MAC.
