BeON Energy wins $175,000 Free Electrons grand prize

 

BeON Energy is just one of the many success stories of the Free Electrons program. Aperio, a cybersecurity firm from Tel Aviv signed commercial contracts with at least 3 of the utilities with EDP completing the first investment. In total, there are 17 signed commercial agreements between the eight utilities and twelve startups valued at $1.6 million with the potential of reaching $12 million within the next year. Deals define the success of the Free Electrons program with each module representing a crucial step in the lead up to the final contract signing. Deals with the utilities are not exclusive and each startup has the ability to sign deals with other utilities.

We’ve inked two deals with BeON Energy and DEPsys. Our deal with BeON Energy is really going to kickstart residential solar systems in Singapore. With DEPsys, their product will allow us to enhance our low voltage grid monitoring and analysis capabilities
