Do you believe new energy conversion technologies will effectively replace traditional industrial power methods?

Loveland-based ATS Energy secured fresh capital to scale the production of its proprietary thermoelectric cartridges. The funding will support the assembly of the company's first commercial power generator unit.

Why it matters

The capital injection enables the firm to move from pilot development into mass production using contract manufacturers. This shift aims to facilitate the company's entry into the commercial electricity market by 2027.

ATS Energy placed second in the Innovations for Traditional Energy, Electricity & the Grid category at the 2026 CERAWeek competition. The company plans to deploy its first commercial solid-state generator by mid-2027.
