Recognized for creating technology innovations in green technology.

Glendale, Calif. – Ice Energy, a leading provider of distributed energy storage and smart grid solutions, today announced that it has been chosen by AlwaysOn as one of the GoingGreen Silicon Valley Global 200 winners for the second consecutive year.  Inclusion in the GoingGreen Silicon Valley Global 200 signifies leadership amongst its peers and game-changing approach and technologies that are likely to disrupt existing and entrenched players in green technology.  

Ice Energy was selected by the AlwaysOn editorial team and industry experts spanning the globe based on a set of five criteria: innovation, market potential, commercialization, stakeholder value, and media “buzz.”

The GoingGreen Global 200 winners were selected from among thousands of domestic and international technology companies nominated by investors, bankers, journalists, and green technology industry insiders.  The AlwaysOn editorial team conducted a rigorous three-month selection process to finalize the 2012 list. 

AlwaysOn Founder and Editor Tony Perkins said, “This year’s GoingGoing Global 200 displays a maturity in the green technology industry that makes it very attractive to both investors and innovators.  Greentech research is maturing rapidly, and as it couples with technology innovators and investors, companies are emerging that have the ability to change the way we live our lives for the better and bring huge returns to their founders and funders.”

Perkins added, “This year’s GoingGreen Global 200 winners are pushing the bounds of how technology can bring about change in the war on our planet’s waning resources.  The strength of these companies lies in their ability to nurture innovative ideas and see them through to successful, sustainable, and profitable businesses.”

Ice Energy EVP of Corporate Development and Legal Mike Hopkins said, “We are honored to be recognized by AlwaysOn for the second time in two years as a leader in the industry. We will continue to pursue innovative energy initiatives and strive to shape the future of distributed energy.”
