Ampd Energy is a company in the energy industry, which designs and manufactures energy storage systems (ESS).[1] It is a member of the Incu-Tech Programme, a Hong Kong Government and HK Science and Technology Park initiative.[2] Their mission is to provide clean, affordable and stable electricity to people and enterprises that lack access to a reliable electric supply.[3]

History

Ampd was founded in December 2014. Its founders, Brandon Ng and Luca Valente created an electric motorcycle company during a blackout in the city; they reasoned that the batteries of their motorcycles could be redesigned to power buildings.[4]

In February 2015, Ampd Energy was accepted into the Incu-Tech program. As of June 2017, the company has raised a total of $3.7 million in seed investment.[5]

Product

In December 2016, the company launched an energy storage system called Ampd Silo, which aims to replace lead acid battery, Uninterruptible Power Supply systems (UPSs) and diesel generators[6][7] primarily in countries affected by frequent blackouts.

Unlike many related companies such as Tesla and Sonnen, Ampd Silo is primarily aimed at on-grid energy storage.[8]

Ampd Silo uses 1,792 rechargeable lithium-ion batteries cells, with each Ampd Silo offering a storage capacity of 16.8 kWh.[9]

Awards and recognition

In early 2017, Ampd Silo received the CES2017 Innovation Award Honoree in the "Tech For a Better World" category.[10] The company was also shortlisted as one of the finalists in Engadgets best CES 2017 in the start-up category.[11]

In May 2017, co-founder and CEO Brandon Ng was named as a Forbes Asia 30 Under 30 honouree in the "Industry, Manufacturing & Energy" category.[12]
