The collaboration combines the strengths of both companies to offer a comprehensive “one-stop-shop” for renewable energy solutions tailored specifically to the commercial and industrial (C&I) market. By offering a unified solution, the collaboration reduces overall project costs through streamlined procurement and integration, cutting administrative and logistical expenses while leveraging the efficiencies of both companies' technologies.

It’s two fearless U.S.-based renewable companies joining forces to offer cool next-generation Microgrid solutions. The EV sector is hungry for innovative American-made technologies, and Create’s proprietary NanoGrid solution is transforming C&I renewable energy projects. With this alliance, customers will benefit from peak demand reduction and energy independence by using Blink’s top-tier chargers and Create Energy’s products. This is another rocket we are launching into the renewables space.”
