Peak Power Inc. Closes Latest Funding Round with Investment from TAF

Toronto, ON.  Toronto-based Peak Power (Peak) today announced that it has closed funding from The Atmospheric Fund (TAF), representing the fifth investor in Peak’s capital funding round. TAF will join Sensata Technologies, Export Development Canada (EDC), BDC Capital, and Hatch/Canadian Shield as a strategic investor in Peak.

TAF brings to the round their focus on carbon emissions reduction, as they have a mandate to advance local solutions to climate change through high impact investments. Their contribution aligns with Peak’s commitment to decarbonize energy, the built environment, and mobility through enabling intelligent energy in smart cities. Peak’s smart buildings platform, Peak Insight™, which helps clients reduce their emissions and generate revenue through electricity markets, is already deployed in over 15 million square feet of commercial and industrial real-estate in Ontario, New York, and California.

“Our objectives as an impact investor are to make risk-adjusted returns, create carbon reduction, and mobilize capital into climate solutions,” said Tim Stoate, Vice President, Impact Investing at TAF. “Peak Power touches on all of our priorities, particularly because their system enables carbon reduction in both the building and transportation sectors, the highest emitting sources of carbon in our urban region. We’re confident this solution has potential to scale across Canada and beyond, creating an ideal opportunity for investors looking to make a positive impact.”

“TAF backing Peak is a major point of validation for us, proving that we are on the right track to helping our clients achieve their net zero goals. Their support completes an incredible roster of strategic partners and investors that will help us scale Canadian Cleantech across North America and globally”, said Derek Lim Soo, CEO and Co-Founder of Peak Power. Imran Noorani, VP of Strategy and Corporate Development further remarked, “We have an agenda to ‘put the environment on the balance sheet’, and the investment from TAF will help us strengthen our position in the market to accomplish this.”
