  CEO and Founder of SimpliPhi Power Catherine Von Burg 

 
 

  Company thrives by holding true to its founding principles  

 

"In 2010 we founded Simpliphi Power with a mission to create universal access to safe, reliable, and affordable energy to empower people, communities and enterprises globally," Von Burg said.  "We chose to innovate energy storage solutions based on a safer and more effective battery chemistry, avoiding the cheaper but dominant lithium supply chain that utilized hazardous Cobalt with documented child labor and dire consequences for people and the environment.  Even today, as other companies exploit lower cost lithium Cobalt chemistries, we are innovating new solutions that beat the competition on quality and safety, while growing rapidly, globally and profitably."

 

"As we celebrate our 10-year anniversary, being recognized by the MB100 community as a company that prioritizes our impact on people, the environment and society is especially meaningful to us all," Von Burg added. "My fellow Meaningful Business honorees are all demonstrating that the UN SDGs are not just crucial for the health of our society and planet – they're good for business and job growth, too."

 

  Von Burg has placed many of the UN SDG principles at the core of SimpliPhi Power's mission since co-founding the company 10 years ago.

 

  Energy solutions that support and improve existing infrastructure  

 

SimpliPhi Power has pioneered innovative energy storage and management solutions for global markets using Lithium Ferro Phosphate (LFP) chemistries. SimpliPhi's solutions seamlessly integrate traditional and renewable generation sources both on and off-grid to provide safe and reliable access to energy 24/7. The company leverages distributed energy storage technologies to protect homes, businesses, and communities from the human and economic impact of losing power – whether the loss is caused by grid outages, catastrophic weather, or other forces.  SimpliPhi's energy storage facilitates greater adoption of renewables, reduces CO2 and GHG emissions, and creates opportunities for sustainable economic development, energy equity, and new alternatives for rate-payers in the energy industry. Staying focused on these principles has allowed SimpliPhi to expand profitably into more than 40 countries, create jobs, and protect the health of people and the planet.

 

  SimpliPhi Power technology helps globally recognized partners achieve their mission  

 

Working with utilities, businesses, homeowners, the military, governments and NGO's around the world and at all levels,  ranging from Direct Relief, USTDA, World Central Kitchen and the World Bank, SimpliPhi Power is developing energy projects and local economies throughout the U.S. and internationally. Its energy storage systems, with proprietary and patented smart Battery Management Systems, have been rated above all other Li battery systems by the U.S. Military, and have provided relief in communities hit by wildfires in the American West, hurricanes in the Southeast and Caribbean , as well as troops in the Afghan mountains.

 

Welcomed into the   UN Global Compact   in 2020, SimpliPhi will publish an annual Communication on Progress (COP) Report in 2021, highlighting projects and practices that demonstrate dedication to the transparency and sustainability standards set by the UN Global Compact leaders.

 

  SimpliPhi ends 2020 receiving multiple awards for innovation, economic and social impact  

 

Winning in two categories for 2021, the   Global Power and Energy Elites   have also recognized SimpliPhi Power projects and leadership for shaping innovative solutions and transforming energy markets. Under the 'Microgrids and Distributed Energy Resources (DERs)' category, this project-based award honors SimpliPhi's collaboration with the U.S. nonprofit Footprint Project to deliver a clean energy microgrid to a field hospital fighting COVID-19 among refugees at the Matamoros Migrant Camp just over the U.S. border in Mexico . Von Burg was also recognized with a Leadership Award for her commitment to developing new strategies and standards to improve the energy value chain on a regional and global level.

 

   Microgrid Knowledge   has also honored SimpliPhi Power with "The Greater Good Award for a Grid-Connected Microgrid" at the Maycroft Apartments Microgrid in Washington DC . A partnership between Jubilee Housing, SimpliPhi Power, New Partners Community Housing, Amidus,  Pepco Exelon , and the Clean Energy Group, developed a "Resiliency Center" that is   the first at a Washington, DC apartment complex powered by solar PV paired with an energy storage system   . The award recognized the microgrid project for "using an innovative model to pass community solar savings directly to low-income households" that "fulfills a clear societal need and bolsters the case that microgrids improve the human condition."

 

In addition, SimpliPhi Power is also a finalist for the   S&P Global Platts   'Grid Edge' Award. The winners will be announced on Dec 10, 2020 .
