Reflecting on 2024: Progress, Challenges, and a Vision for the Future

Reflecting on 2024: Progress, Challenges, and a Vision for the Future

As we prepare to close out 2024, I find myself reflecting on what has been an extraordinary year for Third Equation. It’s been a year of milestones, challenges, and the unwavering commitment of a team and community dedicated to building a better future for energy distribution.

A Year of Firsts and Achievements

2024 has been a year of turning big ideas into tangible realities. This year, we successfully developed the 1 MV Network Exchanger (NEx), our first working production model. This milestone represents much more than a technological breakthrough—it’s proof of our commitment to transforming energy distribution to meet the challenges of a zero-carbon future.

We didn’t stop there. The introduction of the Nano model marked another step forward, allowing us to showcase its potential at key events like Enlit in October. Standing at Enlit as the only company in the distribution technology space demonstrating operational, grid-enhancing technology was a moment of immense pride for all of us.

These accomplishments are critical steps toward achieving a zero-carbon energy grid, where technologies like the NEx—working in harmony with others—play a vital role in unlocking the full potential of renewable generation.

Facing the Challenges of a Complex Industry

We know that meaningful change in the utilities sector takes time. It’s a slow-moving industry where relationships, trust, and persistence are essential. While innovation teams are often our first point of contact, success depends on reaching deeper into organizations to connect with operational decision-makers who can bring these innovations to life.

This year, we focused on developing these critical relationships. Through our own events and participation in key industry gatherings, we’ve laid the groundwork for deeper partnerships and greater impact.

Dreaming Big for 2025

Looking ahead, 2025 will be about building on the successes of 2024 and pushing even further:

  • Real-World Results: As real-world implementation data becomes available, we will use these results to further shape licensing agreements and demonstrate the undeniable value of our solutions.
  • Global Reach: We will continue to expand in key markets across Europe, Australia, and the USA, ensuring our innovations reach the regions that need them most.
  • Next-Level Innovation: Our team is already at work on the next iteration of the NEx, with a goal of getting it ready for manufacturing and market deployment.

We also recognize that our growth and success require a renewed sense of focus and energy. Armed with the lessons of 2024, we’re coming back stronger, better prepared, and ready to make 2025 a year of transformation.

A Shared Vision for a Zero-Carbon Future

At Third Equation, our mission is clear: to accelerate the adoption of renewable generation technology and drive progress toward a zero-carbon energy grid. The NEx is just one piece of the puzzle, but it’s a vital one. Together with other technologies, it brings us closer to a world where sustainable energy isn’t just a goal but a reality.

Thank You for Your Support

None of this would be possible without the incredible team, our partners, and all of you who believe in what we’re building. Your energy and commitment inspire us every day, and it’s your support that drives us to push boundaries and challenge the status quo.

Looking Ahead

As we close the book on 2024 and prepare for 2025, we do so with gratitude and excitement for what lies ahead. Together, we’re not just reshaping technology—we’re reshaping the future of energy.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Here’s to a successful and transformative 2025!
