Fluence IPO: About the Clean Energy Unicorn

Fluence is a global clean energy storage provider. The company offers market-leading energy storage products and services. It also provides digital applications for renewables and storage. It serves major utilities, developers and commercial and industrial businesses around the world.

The company is on a mission to transform the way we power our world. And it has an eye on a more sustainable future. Fluence was founded in 2018 as part of a joint venture between German conglomerate Siemens and power producer AES.

The respective energy storage businesses of both companies laid the groundwork for Fluence before it launched. In fact, the company’s leadership includes some of the AES founding members. These are some of the people that deployed the world’s first grid-connected lithium-ion battery storage system back in 2007.

Together, the two companies have over 13 years of experience in energy storage and data-driven insight…

Fluence has built on AES’ industry-defining work in clean energy and storage operations and Siemens’ energy technology leadership and global sales presence. The result is an agile company with a global presence solely focused on enabling the clean energy transition.

Today, the company is one of the biggest suppliers of large-scale energy storage. In the investment community, there’s speculation that the energy grid is on the edge of disruption. Undoubtedly, many investors want to cash in on the transition to clean energy. And those investors care keeping a close eye on the Fluence IPO.

Fluence IPO Could be Catalyzing for Clean Energy Market

The clean energy sector is rapidly advancing as people turn away from fossil fuels. After news broke, finance expert Charles Lesser told Energy Storage that the Fluence IPO would help not only the company.

Moreso, in going public, Fluence could be a catalyzing event in the transition to clean energy. It will raise awareness of the global utility-scale storage industry, as well as renewable energy management software.

“In this regard, Fluence’s IPO will pay dividends for other companies,” Lesser said.

Fluence is one of the top players in the industry. And a successful Fluence IPO could pave the way for industry players. Subsequently, public capital could become more compelling for Fluence’s industry peers as investor interest soars alongside growing calls to limit climate change.
