CleanSpark Announces California Off-Grid Software Deployment and Provides Revenue Update
Jun 23, 2020, 09:00 ET
SALT LAKE CITY, June 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- CleanSpark, Inc. (NASDAQ: CLSK), a diversified software and services company, announced the successful commissioning and deployment of its mPulse software on a comprehensive off-grid installation system located in California City, California. CleanSpark provided software and controls as well as the battery energy storage solution (BESS) for the system. Good Energy Solar, a Santa Barbara, CA based company, is the lead project developer who provided the photovoltaic (PV) solar system and installation services. The system integrates 43-kw of solar PV with 60-kw BESS and a 45-kw baseload generator with 150-kw generator planned for future business growth.
Engaged by Good Energy Solar, CleanSpark deployed its team of energy professionals to produce a project feasibility analysis of the system utilizing CleanSpark's microgrid Value Stream Optimizer (mVSO) platform; a SaaS-based software and industry-leading solution for energy project analysis and modeling. Energy resiliency and savings were the primary vectors in mVSO's modeling exercise for the end-user, a controlled-distribution agricultural facility. Based on this and a variety of factors, mVSO provided a 20-year economic model outlining the cash flows of the system and detailed cost-avoidance benefits. In the end, mVSO was able to analyze and provide the end-user with a plan to deploy a full, off-grid system sized to meet its needs, which included recommendations for complete project specifications and implementation plans for the solution, in an efficient, cost effective manner.
Zach Bradford, CEO and President of CleanSpark, stated, "Given the remote location of the end-user's operation, local utility companies were unable to provide electrical grid service to the facility in a timeframe that supported their business plans. By going completely off-grid, CleanSpark and Good Energy Solar have allowed the customer to create and independently own their energy system to meet their current and future power requirements. Our controls are designed to minimize fuel consumption to provide the lowest possible levelized cost of energy. The system is designed to be fully expandable as the business grows. CleanSpark's mPulse software and controls solution is uniquely capable of scaling as the system size and load increases and can easily integrate utility grid power if and when the utility provides electricity to the site."
Mr. Bradford continued, "As our mPulse software deployments increase, we expect to see revenues and margins improve. Deployments like these also create additional opportunities for CleanSpark to continue to add long-term SaaS revenues. Our team is excited about this opportunity to again demonstrate the value of our controls software for a customer that would otherwise be subjected to high energy operating costs due to public utility constraints. The company will continue to update all stakeholders as to current deployments and contracts as they develop. We have made significant progress on our stated objective to rapidly scale both our business and the associated revenues. Our year to date revenues through mid-June are approximately $7.7 million and we expect to exceed $8.0 million in year-to-date revenue by the end of this fiscal quarter. Our sales pipeline continues to grow, and we are optimistic about the increased demand we are seeing across all lines of our business."
