Industry Insights

On July 28th, 2021, HST partnered with CleanTechnica to ask a panel of industry experts how project developers can support a larger pipeline of high quality, utility-scale solar projects and increase the amount of potential power purchase agreement (PPA) off-takers. The group also discussed topics such as increasing profit-earning project sales and handling the burgeoning growth of the clean energy sector.

This week, Todd Alexander interviews HST CEO Rudy Roy on The Currents Podcast Episode 141 from Norton Rose Fulbright. Show Notes Rudy talks about HST’s mission to improve lives by scaling clean energy to 1 billion people through software innovation and cloud technology. He elaborates on how HST scaled its View® and Cue® software platforms to thousands of projects.

Why Energy Development Needs Search

If you are in the business of clean energy development, you have a lot on your plate. HST understands this. The company was founded by former solar developers who are intimately familiar with the process of PPAs, site selection, interconnection, permitting, solar PV design, and solar PV Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC).

Recent Developments

HST is happy to announce that DNV Ventures, the venture arm of DNV, joined our cap table alongside leading investors Addition, VoLo Earth Ventures, Storm Ventures, Intelis Capital, and others. Our partnership with DNV includes a deepening collaboration to facilitate grid-scale carbonization. Clean energy developers who use View® can now book meetings with DNV teams via our platform.

The recently passed Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is landmark legislation in the U.S. decarbonization and climate resilience efforts – on a much larger scale than any other climate measures in the past. The IRA brings hope for a healthy environmental future here in the U.S. With goals such as lowering the cost of clean energy and enhancing sustainability practices.

We’re excited about what’s in store for sustainability over the next few years with the recent Senate race results and the incoming Administration. We look forward to hearing about your thoughts on what the next Administration and the new Congress means for sustainability and clean energy.

Virtual Power Purchase Agreements (vPPAs)

Virtual Power Purchase Agreements (vPPAs) can be insured or uninsured depending on your level of risk tolerance. They allow you to guarantee that a project developer will have a fixed stream of cash flows so that they can get their project financed efficiently.
