Tesla Alum’s Heron Power Closes $38M Series A to Transform Key Grid Technology
特斯拉前高管創立的 Heron Power 完成 3800 萬美元 A 輪融資，旨在變革關鍵電網技術
📰【摘要】
Heron Power, founded by former Tesla executive Drew Baglino, raised $38 million in Series A funding to develop solid-state transformers. These transformers promise to be more compact and responsive than traditional analog models and will target medium-voltage applications, with initial installations expected in early 2027.
由特斯拉前高管 Drew Baglino 創立的 Heron Power 籌集了 3800 萬美元的 A 輪融資，用於開發固態變壓器。 這些變壓器有望比傳統模擬型號更緊湊、反應更迅速，並將針對中壓應用，預計於 2027 年初首次安裝。
