Who are Anchors?

Anchors are the sponsors, the local businesses, manufacturers, homeowner associations and municipalities that kickstart a microgrid project for sustainable and lower cost electricity while, at the same time, selling their electricity to their neighbors. These anchors can be Rookies (non-energy experts) and Pros (experts in energy).

Anchors incubate their projects into the GridLauncher, making it easy to launch their projects.

How do I launch my Community Microgrid?

We make it easy!

Incubate your project on the GridLauncher and take advantage of the $20 million funding committed to projects

Then, Rookies pay $200 per month

Pros pay $400 per month

Both plans are also offered at a 40% annual discount!!

At the pre-development stage, DexGrid becomes a minority shareholder for 5% equity into the project's investment vehicle

In the incubator, run your project feasibility and get a fast preview of the estimated consumption load profile, the energy generation capacity and the financials
Then, still within the incubator, engage and coordinate with professionals to run your pre-development stage, including the engineering design with certification at the end
Run your First Touch Campaign, onboard your first electricity customers and increase your chances to fund your project by 100%!

“Having customers already onboarded to the microgrid project is a big plus when raising capital!” -Jorge Rodriguez - Marathon Capital - Investment management leader

Lock in the capital for your project, combining grants and private capital

DexGrid is working closely with the DOE and Vivienda to facilitate granting up to 50% of the projects' CAPEX

Private funding has already committed $20 million to projects coming of the incubator

Projects include a 15% annual return for the lifetime of the project

Have professionals develop and operate your project, including software operations supported by the GridUser

What are the DexGrid costs?

Projects are incubated with ALL estimated costs included!

How long does it take to incubate a project?

The first 2 steps can be completed within minutes. We estimate a +/- 30% of margin of error to what the final number will be.

However, launching operations to sell electricity to the community requires energy professionals to develop and deploy the project, which certainly takes more time.

Something for sure though is that using the GridLauncher is a game changer for everyone involved.
