Critical Loop

Unlock the grid. Unlock opportunity.

[Critical Loop @critical_loop]

Relocatable battery systems can serve another project when grid upgrades arrive or demand shifts.

Here’s how we build for more than one address.

[Critical Loop @critical_loop]

This week we launched the CLB-5100 Power System. Operations engineer Robert takes you inside the hardware. His favorite part about the job? Turning on a customer’s lights for the first time, and with Sares Regis Group, he’ll get to do a lot more of that.

[New American Industrial Alliance @newindustrials]

From automated factories and AI-assisted medical research to autonomous flying and bringing AI to the military front lines, this is the latest news from the frontlines of NAIA member companies.

@critical_loop debuted the CLB-5100 Power System, featuring a 25-megawatt hybrid microgrid deployment in partnership with SRG Commercial. The project is designed to deliver rapid power and bring its industrial tenant online ahead of traditional grid expansion.

@GrayMatterRobot Co-Founder & CEO Ariyan Kabir was named one of Goldman Sachs’ Most Exceptional Entrepreneurs of 2026.

@FoundryRobotics announced a $100 million Series A funding round to expand its development of the American factory of the future, which autonomously assembles complex hardware, continuously adapts, and scales with demand.

@HanwhaDefenseUS announced it would acquire a controlling stake in the Hanwha Philly Shipyard that would bring it under the company’s leadership and governance structure.

@Meta is partnering with five U.S. universities to solve critical issues in medicine and science including improving outcomes for infants with tracheostomy tubes, identifying heart failure risk early, helping patients with dementia communicate, and more.

@Picogrid launched a high-performance Expeditionary Command and Control Node (ECN) designed to bring powerful computing and real-time data processing directly to front-line military units. This hardware enables tactical teams to run advanced AI and manage autonomous systems locally, even without a stable connection to a base.

@skyryse was selected by SNC integrate its SkyOS flight operating system to bring advanced flight automation and autonomous capabilities to existing aircraft fleets, initially focusing on defense platforms.

@SaresRegis has named @critical_loop its industrial power solutions partner across Southern California for the next two years. Our first project together launches the CLB-5100 Power System, adding 12 MW of power to the campus. Read more: https://t.co/xSVbzTGZG6

Introducing the CLB-5100 Power System, launching with a 12 MW deployment that helps a Sares Regis campus in Southern California reach the 25 MW its tenant needs. SRG has named Critical Loop its industrial power solutions partner in the region for the next two years.

For developers: faster revenue and fewer tenants walking away.

For brokers: an answer to the MW problem that’s been killing deals.

For tenants: operations on your timeline, not the utility’s.

[Critical Loop @critical_loop]

Our Power-Ready Industrial Portfolio puts certified battery storage and power controls on site before a tenant signs. Full power from day one, no utility wait, no stranded assets.

Let’s talk.

If your California project is waiting on power, look at flexible interconnection now. Substation slots are limited, and once they’re filled, you’re back to waiting years for the utility. Our Cygnus controller is approved to connect sites through PG&E’s Flex Connect. Message us.

[Critical Loop @critical_loop]

We're on @FastCompany's 2026 Next Big Things in Tech list for Sustainability and Energy. It caps a big stretch: Cygnus just joined @PGE4Me's Flex Connect approved provider list, and we've added 50+ MWh of capacity for customers who couldn't wait years for power.

@critical_loop mega grids reporting for duty.

[Critical Loop @critical_loop]

With Cygnus, facilities draw full grid power when capacity is available and use on-site storage at peak to stay within the utility's hourly limits.

We're onboarding C&I customers across California now, with a path to full operations in months.

[Critical Loop @critical_loop]

Cygnus, our software-defined power controller, has achieved CSIP 2030.5 certification and completed interoperability testing with @PGE4Me, joining its list of Flex Connect Approved Solution Providers.

With our existing UL 3141 listing, Cygnus is the first power controller to the market to hold both, with compatibility across PG&E and Southern California utilities.

[Critical Loop @critical_loop]

@jimbelosic what's your load factor?

[Critical Loop @critical_loop]

And lastly, some utilities also discussed whether dropping a “9” from 99.999% reliability targets could free up capacity for new load. The utility can drop a few nines, and our on-site storage controls add them back. What was your biggest takeaway from NYC Climate Week?

[Critical Loop @critical_loop]

The week, our team attended #ClimateWeekNYC 2026 ⚡Threading a few of our biggest takeaways from the event.

[Critical Loop @critical_loop]

Geothermal and SMRs of up to 150 MW are starting to scale, and we’re working with next-gen power providers on the interconnection to bring them online fast. Meanwhile, BESS and solar+storage keep firming the grid, and the industry needs better ways to measure their value beyond cost savings, including speed to power and risk mitigation.

[Critical Loop @critical_loop]

@EnergizeCapital named Critical Loop a Top 30 Digital Innovator in Electrify Everything 2026.

We’re the power expediters, delivering power years ahead of grid upgrades with domestic battery supply and integrated hardware and software.

#ClimateWeekNYC brings a lot of great people together to talk about the future of energy. We're glad to be part of it.

We'll be in the city, hoping to connect with as many of you as we can in person.

In New York and want to talk shop? DM us.

We keep trying to fix the grid by building more of it. @rocket_bala thinks we're missing the easier win: getting more out of the grid we already have.
