Hey look we're in a PD editorial too!

Not bad for a teensy little startup.  Friday, a spread in the biz section, Monday in the editorial page.

LeMieux is about to launch a quest for venture capital to develop the next generation of PEG. Chances are some smart money out there will see this as a kinetic energy idea with potential.

 

Woot!

In the PD today

Our local newspaper did a big write up on us today, front page of the business section!  Woot!  Here's the link.

CLE Artist Greg Martin Taking a Tintype near our office

Here in Tremont, you never know what you're gonna see.  Today on her walk, our mascot Harvey came across Greg Martin and his vintage tinrtype camera taking some skyline shots.  Check.  This.  Out.

Aaron Lemieux Moderates Pew Clean Energy Conference Today

On Friday, October 5, 2012, the Pew Charitable Trusts welcomes Aaron LeMieux to its conference "Manufacture, Innovate, Compete: A clean energy action plan." This clean energy conference brings together stakeholders from business and government to engage in discussion on the economic prospects within the clean energy sector and the pressing need for national policies that can make America the world’s powerhouse in this growing field. The conference will take place at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, D.C.  

As an expert in kinetic energy, Aaron has a strong background in renewable energy as well as a track record of bringing innovative clean energy products to market. "It's an honor to be invited to participate and represent Northeast Ohio in this important discussion of our clean energy future," said LeMieux, Founder & CEO of Tremont Electric, a Cleveland, Ohio, Triple Bottom Line Green Plus Certified clean energy startup. Tremont Electric developed and sells the nPower® PEG, the world's first passive kinetic energy charger for hand-held electronics. Placed in your backpack, the nPower® PEG harvests your kinetic energy as you move, rain or shine, storing it in a battery for use when you need it most – off the grid. Prototypes were launched in 2009, awards & accolades followed, and thousands were pre-ordered as the product was perfected for sale to customers.

 

Sourced & manufactured locally in Cleveland, Ohio, the nPower® PEG launched a redesigned version in May 2012, winning the 2012 Edison Award Silver Medal for Power Generation. Inventory is now available for retail. A recent customer blogged that she’d "trade a day’s food if I had to" just to carry the nPower® PEG on the Appalachian Trail for the peace of mind. This holiday season, the nPower® PEG is available in retail at major US outdoor retailer, REI as well as at the company's website: www.nPowerPEG.com. Clickhere for a link to the REI product page.

You heard right - we're in retail in the US & Canada

The rumors are true!  This holiday season, you can get the nPower® PEG at any REI store in the US or at REI online, and in Canada at Valhalla Pure Outfitters.  Stay tuned for more details.  In the meantime, here's our hero Aaron with Talking Points Memo yesterday.

"We are a clean energy startup in Ohio.  We're working on innovative technology right here in the industrial Midwest.  We manufacture locally, ship internationally, and we did it all while the 'Great Recession' was going on.  This election, with lots of candidates saying we need to do this need to do that for our economy, here's clearly a case where we did what we needed to do because we're entrepreneurs."

 

Holiday shoppers, here we come!

 

 

PBR 1K - Help us drink 1,000 beers, it's for charity!

PBR1K

You read that right.  Cleveland gets a chance to show off its 12oz. curls at the 1st Annual PBR 1K at 12 noon, September 23, at the Treehouse in Tremont.  Drink 1,000 cans of PBR, funds support the Green Beret Foundation, co-sponsored by Tremont Electric & GoRuck, creators of the GoRuck Challenge.  Join the event on Facebook here.  

As a participant in the GoRuck Challenge, I wanted to do something more to support the community," said Tremont Electric Founder & CEO Aaron LeMieux.  "I can't think of anything better than raising money while hoisting PBRs."

GoRuck manufactures and sells Made in the USA military grade outdoor gear, a great fit with Cleveland's own nPower® PEG, the world's first passive kinetic energy charger for hand-held electronics.  LeMieux will join other Clevelanders in the GoRuck Challenge in Cleveland October 27.

"Join us for the Browns game against the Bills, or come after from the stadium," said LeMieux.  "We've got 1,000 beers to get through."
