Zeo Energy Corp., a Florida-based provider of residential solar and energy efficiency solutions, has finalised the acquisition of Heliogen, Inc., a company specialising in on-demand energy generation and storage technologies. The transaction, previously announced, will allow Zeo Energy to establish a division focused on long-duration solutions for commercial and industrial facilities, including data centres using artificial intelligence and cloud computing.

The integration of Heliogen will bring Zeo Energy its portfolio of intellectual property, financial resources and technical teams.
