Strategic partnerships The Clean Fight actively collaborates with major energy players and institutions (NineDot Energy, Con Edison, National Grid, NYCEDC, NYSERDA, EDA, DOE, NY-BEST, NENY, Rockefeller Foundation). This indicates strong access to deployment grants, pilot programs, and anchor customers, presenting opportunities to position complementary solutions in deployment accelerators and funded pilots.
Funding leverage With a recent $1M investment from The Rockefeller Foundation to expand its National Deployment Grant Fund, there is a clear channel for grant-supported projects. Sales opportunities exist in offering technologies and services that align with grant criteria to accelerate decarbonization in homes, schools, and underserved communities.
Deployment focus The organization runs Deployment Accelerators and targets rapid adoption of decarbonization solutions, signaling demand for scalable, implementable technologies and services in storage, clean energy hardware, and software that can be proven at scale in real-world deployments.
Regional expansion Active involvement in upstate New York and partnerships with NY-BEST and New Energy New York show a regional deployment focus with potential for local pilots and regional supply chain collaborations, ideal for regional vendors, installers, and integrators seeking entry into state-supported programs.
Net-new opportunities Affiliations with a broad coalition (NYSERDA, DOE, NYCEDC, utility partners) create cross-sell potential for complementary technologies (storage, grid resilience, clean energy software) across multiple procurement and grant-funded initiatives, expanding total addressable market for aligned vendors.
