- Companies to leverage complementary expertise in smart city IoT technology and distributed energy to provide more reliable access to power in communities of all sizes.
The strategic alliance will strengthen energy security, focusing on communities with pressing resiliency needs, and develop scaled solutions to lessen the impact of power outages and other grid disruptions related to climate change.
Extreme weather, which can cause power outages, is becoming more frequent.1 In 2020,
"A smart city starts with resilient and sustainable energy resources," said
The alliance will integrate distributed energy resources owned by Duke Energy Sustainable Solutions - including solar photovoltaic (PV) and resiliency solutions - with Honeywell's battery energy storage systems and
"Investing in energy infrastructure is a national priority that requires strategic vision, innovative solutions, and a world-class team to implement effectively," said
Honeywell, leveraging its smart cities and energy solutions expertise, will lead solutions development, using its IoT platform, building technologies and system-of-systems command and control capabilities. Duke Energy Sustainable Solutions will own and manage the energy assets, bringing its core competency in designing and implementing distributed energy solutions for communities across the country.
The effort supports the Honeywell Energy Equity Resiliency (HEER) initiative which works to create energy equity and community resiliency through innovative solutions and alliances to address energy efficiency, improve peak load management, and decrease grid disruptions due to climate change. Using the
