CLT Joules adds new energy startups

Energy startup accelerator CLT Joules has named four new companies to its 2015 program, adding to the 11 firms that have taken part since 2014.

The new companies include:

▪ Atom Power LLC, a hardware and software power distribution company that is staffed mostly by UNC Charlotte engineering graduates.

▪ Base Trace, which detects leaks for nuclear power plants and is based in the Research Triangle Park in Durham.

▪ eosMYCO Inc., founded by another UNCC grad and focused on coal ash remediation that extracts minerals and metals from ash and turns the rest into inert aggregate.

▪ iRestore, whose technologies help electric and gas utilities detect outages and more quickly restore power.

The year-long Joules program connects companies to mentors, infrastructure support, funding sources and prospective customers. Companies have attracted almost $9 million in funding and generated 66 jobs to date.
