NEW YORK, NY, July 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Accel-Dev, a provider of development capital for clean energy infrastructure backed by Madison Energy Infrastructure, today announced a new investment in Eddy Energy to support a growing portfolio of battery storage projects across the Pacific Northwest. This facility will accelerate execution on a cluster of projects serving high-load urban and industrial centers—areas where localized capacity is essential to meeting growing energy demands without triggering costly distribution upgrades.
“Eddy Energy represents the kind of forward-thinking, execution-driven partner we look for,” said Chip Brubaker, President of Accel-Dev. “At a time when regulatory uncertainty is creating hesitation in the market, we're proud to be putting capital to work behind real projects, real teams, and real value. This deal reflects our conviction that distributed storage will be central to the energy transition and our commitment to back it regardless of the headlines.”
This investment marks a milestone for Accel-Dev: Eddy Energy is the firm’s first dedicated energy storage partner, and this transaction reflects a deliberate step into distributed storage as a core pillar of its clean energy investment strategy. These initial projects are focused in Washington, with follow-on opportunities across Oregon and California already underway. Accel-Dev and Eddy share a belief that flexible assets co-located with load will be essential to modernizing the grid by enabling electrification, supporting load growth, and enhancing reliability across the U.S.
“To meet the energy demands of tomorrow, it's clear that we need flexibility across the grid,” said Sam Maslin, CEO of Eddy. “Eddy Energy is very excited to partner with Accel-Dev to develop and deploy fleets of community-scale energy storage systems. Their experience and expertise will be critical to making our local storage projects a reality.”
