We're pleased to see The Wall Street Journal highlighting the surge in climate tech investments and the focus on solving grid capacity issues. This aligns closely with our approach at Aligned Climate Capital. From the beginning, we've believed that the key to accelerating the clean energy transition is investing in proven technologies that are ready to scale and solve real-world problems. The article points out that $2.73 billion was raised by grid infrastructure startups this year, reflecting the growing need for practical solutions that enhance grid efficiency and reliability. At Aligned, we've always prioritized backing technologies that can be deployed now to make an immediate impact. We believe this isn’t about waiting for the next breakthrough or trying to change consumer behavior. It’s about scaling what works and supporting innovations that drive the clean energy future. We’re excited to continue partnering with ventures and projects that share this vision.
