Thrilled to see Heron Power stepping into the spotlight. On Monday, Heron Power announced a collaboration with NVIDIA, and released a technical deep dive on how its Heron Link platform unlocks efficient, scalable power for AI data centers. Heron is the only startup recognized by NVIDIA alongside global leaders like ABB, GE, Siemens, and Schneider Electric; a huge validation of the team’s vision and technology. We’re honored to be early investors in Drew Baglino and his incredible team at Heron Power. We can’t wait to hear Drew share more about this partnership at our Annual General Meeting next Wednesday and to celebrate with him and the Heron team at New Dawn on Thursday. https://lnkd.in/gdEQAi_H Big things ahead for Heron and for the future of electrified infrastructure. #AIInfrastructure #DataCenters #PowerInfrastructure #ClimateTech #EnergyTransition #GridInnovation
AI compute is scaling faster than the grid infrastructure supporting it. At Heron Power, we’re rethinking data center power from first principles — leveraging DC architectures inspired by energy storage and renewables to enable gigascale AI. Today I'm excited to share Heron's inclusion in NVIDIA’s Open Innovation Ecosystem and our white paper detailing how Heron Link unlocks feasibility, scale, and efficiency for accelerated computing. https://lnkd.in/gvdBjGEm
As AI campuses scale to gigawatts, the power foundation beneath them must evolve just as quickly. Our new Heron Link platform delivers a simpler, more efficient, and denser power foundation for 800V DC data center infrastructure — connecting the world’s most advanced compute to the grid. We’re proud to share that Heron Power has been recognized by NVIDIA as a data center power system provider within its Open Innovation Ecosystem, announced today at the OCP Global Summit. Heron Power’s new white paper, "Heron Link: Unlocking Efficient Power Conversion for Gigascale AI," outlines a new standard in data center electrical architecture — combining solid state 34.5kV–800V DC conversion with integrated energy storage and grid-forming capability.
Heron has been recognized as one of the top 50 innovative companies driving decarbonization by 2050 by Congruent Ventures and Silicon Valley Bank. This annual list highlights the next generation of high-growth companies solving the hardest energy challenges. We’re proud to be in great company with Redwood Materials, On.Energy, Fervo Energy, Antora Energy, Electric Hydrogen, Helion, and Form Energy. Our cutting-edge power electronics are purpose-built for the 21st-century grid to help the electricity sector to grow faster with scalable, reliable and software-integrated infrastructure. The Heron Link is a high-efficiency, modular, medium-voltage inverter purpose built for utility-scale PV, energy storage, and AI factories. Designed for today's most demanding grid and plant requirements in one infinitely scalable platform, it delivers superior performance, higher uptime, and lower lifetime cost of ownership.

🚨 Transformers are the chokepoint. Heron wants to eliminate them. We speak to Drew Baglino, former Tesla exec and now founder of Heron Power, to talk about a big, overlooked bottleneck in the AI and energy transition era: the grid. 🔌 Heron’s device replaces traditional transformers — letting renewables, batteries, and AI data centers plug straight into the grid ⚡ It tackles the global transformer shortage that’s stalling energy projects and hyperscale expansion 🤝 Signing LOIs — including one with Crusoe (cc Chase Lochmiller), a key partner on OpenAI’s Stargate site (I would note that Heron is only 6 months in to what will be a two year engineering process). Baglino told me it’s “certainly possible” Heron will work with Tesla Energy in the future — and that the energy storage wave has only just begun. If AI is the future, grid infrastructure is the bottleneck — and that’s what Heron is targeting. 🎥 Full Bloomberg TV interview: https://lnkd.in/gnBaNrqd 📝 Full story with Michelle Ma, Naureen S.

We're looking for strong mechanical engineers to Accelerate an All-Electric Future!
After 14 incredible years at Tesla, I’m decided to take on a new challenge: I’ve joined Heron Power to continue advancing electrification. We’re developing cutting-edge power electronics for industrial applications, creating better converters to integrate renewables, energy storage, and large-scale loads into the grid. It’s fast-paced, meaningful work at the center of the energy transition. I’m currently building out our core mechanical design team and looking for strong engineers who are up for the challenge. If that’s you (or someone you know) feel free to reach out or apply directly. We also have many other roles open across the company. Mechanical Engineer, Power Electronics: https://lnkd.in/gVYHUSGd Mechanical Engineer, Enclosures: https://lnkd.in/gCD5HGEH Thermal Systems Engineer: https://lnkd.in/g7A7sP34 There is lots of momentum here, and we’re just getting started!
