Sign up for EnergySage’s newsletter a veteran of solar company SPAN and Tesla’s Powerwall team told EnergySage that while his company’s product is designed for homeowners and renters alike he is especially attuned to the backup power needs of renters because of his own experience renting in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina Battery storage that isn’t physically attached to your house for two decades is just more practical and cheaper overall “About half the cost of getting a battery today is the install cost,” said Ashman plug-in batteries meet renters’ needs because they do not require a landlord’s participation and they’re easier to move You can take it with you when you move,” he said Pila is entering a growing market that includes competitors like BioLite Backup and Blip Energy. Like traditional battery storage setups, plug-in battery systems with at least 3 kWh of storage capacity are currently eligible for a 30% federal tax credit this feature allows multiple batteries across a household or building to connect and communicate with one another In addition to making it easier to expand storage the mesh technology allows batteries to automatically optimize energy usage and to prioritize and time their recharging if a household has decided its top priority is to keep its refrigerator running on stored power the battery connected to the fridge will be first in line to recharge when electricity rates are at their lowest These batteries typically plug directly into a standard outlet where they can draw power from either the grid or – if the home has them – solar panels Appliances and electronic devices then plug into the battery to use the energy when needed It’s a significantly more affordable solution than a traditional hard-wired battery system enough to power anything as large as a fridge so consumers will need to either buy two batteries or the expansion pack to qualify for the federal tax credit Pila is also emphasizing a thin design that does not need to be mounted to a wall with promotional photos showing the batteries sitting atop a refrigerator or beside a workstation If you pre-order one of Pila’s home batteries The batteries are available to order starting Friday March 7 at $999 per unit and require a $99 deposit The price will rise by $300 when the batteries begin to ship in the second half of 2025 Community solarEnjoy the benefits of solar without rooftop panels.

Its modular design lets households expand backup power as needed, eliminating the high upfront costs of traditional systems. Early Access Reservations are now open at www.PilaEnergy.com Visit Pila Energy at SXSW Expo booth #821 to learn more and see a demonstration How Pila WorksPila batteries plug into standard wall outlets making them the simplest home battery to install Consumers place Pila batteries where power matters most—on top of the fridge to keep food safe next to the home’s sump pump to prevent flooding compact design was developed in collaboration with award-winning Bould Design to blend seamlessly into any space Pila is designed to fit the needs and budget of any home Start with one battery and expand backup power to more rooms as needed Pila’s smart mesh system seamlessly synchronizes them to manage home power intelligently—just like a Wi-Fi mesh network optimizes home internet Each Pila Mesh Home Battery stores 1.6–3.2 kWh of energy and run laptops for up to 2–3 days during an outage additional Pila batteries can be placed throughout the home or the Pila Expansion Pack can double the backup time for a specific room or appliance Pila can recharge daily during an outage when paired with a plug-in solar panel providing effectively unlimited backup power Pila’s Mission: Affordable Energy IndependenceGrowing up in New Orleans Pila founder Cole Ashman saw firsthand how devastating power outages can be entire neighborhoods sat in darkness for days resulting in thousands of ruined refrigerators piled up on curbs throughout the city—a stark symbol of the nation’s fragile power system "I’ll never forget that devastation," Ashman recalls outages are even more frequent as our aging grid struggles to keep up with the increasing intensity of natural disasters safe peace of mind within reach for every home and apartment." As a former SPAN product leader and a Tesla Powerwall engineer Ashman designed Pila to bring infrastructure-grade energy solutions to everyday homes "We built Pila at a price point that won’t break the bank while ensuring it has the intelligence to integrate with home energy systems and the power grid." Investor & Industry BackingPila Energy has received early-stage funding from Refactor Capital we back companies improving efficiency and scale in their respective industries Pila's smart battery system represents the next generation of home energy control and resilience poised to disrupt the market," said Zal Bilimoria "We are very impressed with Pila’s innovative vision and the speed at which they have realized the product our homes and most essential electrical infrastructure must become energy-independent and grid-supportive over the next decade."

Reviews ethics statement seen here on the show floor at SXSW Expo in Austin can back up home appliances without requiring a professional installer A big home backup battery costs thousands of dollars -- and thousands more to install A new entrant in the space seeks to bring a smart-home approach without requiring the upfront electrical work of similarly high-tech batteries Pila Energy, founded by former engineers for home battery leader Tesla and smart electrical panel manufacturer SPAN unveiled its Pila Mesh Home Battery at South by Southwest 2025 the Pila Energy battery is crafted to blend in nicely with your home's decor -- fitting seamlessly on your TV stand or on top of your refrigerator The battery is designed to be installed next to the appliances you intend to back up with an expandable backup unit that can take it to 3.2kWh of electricity.  Pila Energy's founders said the goal was to provide a lower-cost easier way to back up key home appliances while also offering smart-home-style insights there are better ways to get people power that don't require plugging in extension cords in the rain and starting up pull-start generators and that also don't need to break the bank and cost you $30,000," founder Cole Ashman told me at SXSW No electrician neededLike the BioLite batteries I saw at CES 2025 the Pila Energy batteries are intended for home backup but don't actually wire into your home's electrical system That saves money on installation -- these are essentially plug-and-play -- but that also means they don't feed power back to the grid the way a traditional home battery system does said homeowners who simply want to back up a few things can get a reliable backup system without paying tens of thousands of dollars to install a home battery "Apartment-dwellers too -- everybody needs a solution and this is really the everybody battery," he said Pila Energy's battery can fit into narrow spaces Customers can start with one battery and add more to expand their backup capacity either linking multiple batteries together to provide longer-term power for one appliance such as a refrigerator or spreading them throughout the home to back up multiple appliances A portable solar panel can recharge batteries even during an outage The standard unit can recharge from a 100-watt portable solar panel These batteries function essentially as portable power stations Each battery includes four standard AC power outlets and three USB-C ports and Pila Energy says they should last 10 years which can connect and coordinate multiple batteries into a mesh system to store power and optimize it for outage protection and more where multiple modular batteries work together to optimize energy use "More," in this case, generally means adjusting your energy use to offset the higher costs of time-of-use energy rates If your electricity costs more during some parts of the day than during other parts of the day the battery can charge itself when power is cheap and run your appliances off of stored energy when it's expensive.  The batteries include customizable displays with features like clocks and graphics showing their energy output.  Beyond providing backup power to the refrigerator the battery can help ensure your fridge is running properly With a Bluetooth-connected temperature sensor it can keep an eye on how cold the fridge is letting you know if you need to consider maintenance or a replacement The battery is built to work with other smart home ecosystems such as Amazon's Alexa or Google Home -- although you can also use Pila Energy's app but we're not forcing people to use it," Ashman said March 10: This story initially had an incorrect title for Chad Conway The dates displayed for an article provide information on

phonoau­to­gram took inputs for the study of sound waves but could not be turned into an out­put device we can hear the voice of Scott in what is now con­sid­ered the first ever record­ing of human sound What you will hear in the above video are the var­i­ous stages of recon­struct­ing and reverse engi­neer­ing the voice that sang on that April day in 1860 like wip­ing away decades of dirt and soot Scott had looked to the inven­tion of pho­tog­ra­phy and won­dered if some­thing sim­i­lar could be done with sound waves focused as he was on improv­ing stenog­ra­phy And so the phonoau­to­gram took in sound vibra­tions through a diaphragm which moved a sty­lus against a rotat­ing cylin­der cov­ered in lamp­black What was left was a wig­gly line in a con­cen­tric cir­cle Scott’s inven­tion

turned to the Lawrence Berke­ley Nation­al Lab­o­ra­to­ry and a soft­ware called IRENE The soft­ware was designed to extract sounds from wax cylin­ders with­out touch­ing the del­i­cate sur­faces and the first pass revealed what they thought at first was a young woman or child singing “Au Clair de la lune,” the French nurs­ery rhyme (not the Debussy piano work) a fur­ther exam­i­na­tion of Scott’s notes revealed that the record­ing was at a much slow­er speed and it was a man—most prob­a­bly Scott—singing the lul­la­by The video shows the stages that brought Scott back to life: Denois­ing a lot of extra­ne­ous sound; stretch­ing the record­ing back to nat­ur­al time; “tun­ing and quantizing”–correcting for imper­fec­tions in the human-turned cylin­der; clean­ing up har­mon­ics; and final­ly adding fur­ther har­mon­ics The result is less an unrec­og­niz­able ghost sig­nal and more a touch­ing sound of human­i­ty desir­ing some­how to have their voice live on Note: An ear­li­er ver­sion of

information provided by the communication studio Sec and Partners thePila ski resort is about to take a major step in its modernisation with the near completion of the new 10-seater Couis 1 gondola lift This modern system will replace the old two-seater chairlift from the 1980s offering greater capacity and comfort for skiers The new gondola lift will be operational for the 2024/2025 ski season marking the start of an ambitious renovation and expansion project that includes the construction of additional facilities and a direct connection from the outskirts of Aosta to the highest point in the area Pila has the distinction of being one of the few ski resorts directly connected to a major communication route three sections of cable car provide skiers with access from the capital to the heart of the ski area The Pila-Couis project plans to extend the route of this gondola lift at the watershed between the Pila valley and the Cogne valley The departure and arrival stations will open in December 2025 This new system will create a modern “backbone” for the area allowing travel in maximum comfort and shelter from the elements in both winter and summer the facilities will be available for transporting hikers and cyclists promoting sustainable tourism and access to nature “The realisation of this new project is particularly significant as it will revitalise and complete the tourist offer of one of the most outstanding and busy ski areas of the Aosta Valley,” said Valeria Ghezzi president of ANEF to Sec and Partners Communication Studio “Pila will be directly connected to the city of Aosta by cable cars which is a perfect example of sustainable mobility This safe and environmentally friendly means of transport not only allows everyone to comfortably enjoy the breathtaking scenery between Pila and Cogne but also reduces vehicle traffic in the region” The new Couis 1 gondola lift will be complemented by a futuristic star-shaped design shelter which will include a panoramic terrace offering spectacular views of the Aosta Valley the new facilities will optimise the use of the ski slopes allowing access from Couis 1 to all the slopes of Couis 2 slopes 7 and 8 will be renovated and extended offering greater variety and safety for skiers This ambitious project not only improves the existing infrastructure but also reinforces Pila’s commitment to sustainability and high quality tourism development Pila positions itself as one of the most advanced and accessible ski resorts in the Aosta Valley Ke kali ʻia nei kā Pelekikena Biden pūlima ʻana i

Piraeus Tower officially opened its doors to tenants and visitors on the 4th of June in the port city of Piraeus It is the first green highrise in Greece that throughout the last four years was brought back to life and an architectural icon which marks the starting point of the Athenian Riviera PILA was the winner of an invited competition to redesign the facade of Piraeus Tower in 2020 now achieving the completion of the most ambitious project of the international architecture practice based in Athens They are also the designers of all interior common spaces accessible to office visitors and tenants Piraeus Tower is redeveloped into a contemporary Soaring 88 metres into the sky and covering a gross built area of 34.623 sqm at a plot of 3.842 sqm it is a mixed-use building with public open spaces and a contemporary workplace The first three levels of retail are already leased to Zara while the third and fourth floors will offer F&B by Nice n’ Easy The office levels above will host 2.000 people and are occupied by anchor tenants Dialectica NorthStandard and V Group of Companies among others The office fit-out for V Group’s headquarters on the 22nd top floor is also designed by PILA studio As the tallest structure at the port of Piraeus in Attica its presence dominates the image of the port for five decades the City of Piraeus with a consortium of investors transformed the inactive structure into a mixed-use tall building of which PILA designed its new facade for the ‘rebirth’ of Piraeus Tower The proposal engages with the multiple scales of experience whereby one perceives the tower: a visual marker on the skyline © Nikos DaniilidisOn 04 June 2024, Piraeus Tower filled the sky with brilliance during a night of celebrations when the building was illuminated in the colours of the sky and the sea for the grand opening The formal inauguration by the Municipality of Piraeus was in the presence of the Prime Minister of Greece -the implementing entity of the project consisting of DIMAND the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and all stakeholders of this ambitious renovation development scheme The event featured a spectacle from 370 drones a performance by the Athens Philharmonic Orchestra and fireworks PILA has designed an elevated walkway that spans from Karaiskaki Square to the park across from the tower The purpose of this walkway is to improve the urban experience and connectivity around the tower it features seating areas for enjoying the view and incorporates green spaces for a more pleasant experience The facade design of ‘Piraeus Tower’ by PILA Architecture Studio has been awarded a 2024 CTBUH Facade Award of Excellence and will be presented at the Barbican Centre in London on the 23rd

as a foreign resident living in Spain While most Alpine ski resorts focus on sustainability and scaling back expansion Pila in Italy is quietly bucking the trend offering skiers something fresh and exciting At a time when new pistes across Europe are rare this hidden gem in the Aosta Valley is leading the way with thoughtful growth and modernisation new ski slopes and resort expansions have all but disappeared Resorts like France’s iconic Les Trois Vallées are focusing on improving sustainability by reducing lifts rather than adding more making operations more efficient and environmentally friendly have opted for upgrades rather than new terrain providing easier access to high-altitude runs—but without adding a single new piste Austria’s Saalbach has stalled its plans to link with Zell-am-See and Switzerland hasn’t seen a major expansion since Arosa connected with Lenzerheide in 2013 It seems climate concerns and the high costs of development have halted the era of bold Alpine growth the resort unveiled a new 4.2km red run—Run Number Nine—that descends 560m The new piste makes the Couis peak far more accessible offering an alternative to its previously challenging black run But it’s not just the slopes that are seeing an upgrade Pila has invested €70 million in a sleek 10-seater gondola With sweeping views of Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn the gondola ensures skiers spend less time in transit and more time on the slopes What’s even more exciting is what’s to come the gondola’s second phase will allow visitors to travel directly from the Roman city of Aosta to Pila’s summit at 2,700m—completely car-free It’s a game-changer for eco-conscious travellers and those looking to blend culture with adventure Pila’s expansion hasn’t come at the expense of the environment Resort president Davide Vuillermoz emphasised the careful planning that went into the new developments From preserving topsoil to replanting native grass every detail was considered to minimise the project’s impact “Our goal is to ensure reliable skiing for decades to come,” Vuillermoz explained Pila is future-proofing itself against the challenges of climate change Pila remains one of the best-value resorts in Europe A six-day lift pass costs just €286—a price that hasn’t increased this year and includes access to nearby Cervinia and Courmayeur It’s a welcome relief compared to the soaring prices in neighbouring Alpine countries Pila is proving that thoughtful growth is still possible and commitment to sustainability make it a standout destination for skiers seeking value

Danish-founded biotech company Pila Pharma looks to secure a partnership or acquisition within the next few years The short-term goal is to advance the development of a promising new drug candidate for the treatment of obesity and diabetes listed on the Nasdaq First North stock exchange in Stockholm has set a clear strategy for the future: Within a few years the company aims to be acquired by or partner with an industry player capable of furthering and realizing its research in obesity and other metabolic diseases using TRPV1 inhibitors The goal is to ensure that Pila Pharma’s potential new weight-loss pill reaches the market as quickly as possible – We have a promising drug candidate with a completely different side effect profile compared to other treatments currently in development or on the market Our ambition is to progress the candidate over the next few years and then hand it over to a larger player who can take it to the next level The global market is in dire need of effective obesity treatments particularly scalable pill-based solutions and we believe we could have a role to play in this development – Since our founders’ discovery in 1999 and the company’s founding in 2014 we have made significant progress and gathered data that suggests we are on the right track The next major step is to establish proof of concept for weight loss We are the only company working with this specific type of molecule—TRPV1 inhibitors—as a novel therapeutic approach to treating obesity and other metabolic diseases I firmly believe we will emerge as a strong and attractive candidate for partnership or acquisition A Scalable Pill Solution with a Different Side Effect Profile Pila Pharma was founded by former Novo Nordisk researcher Dorte X who was the first researcher to identify the molecule that later became semaglutide—the active ingredient in Novo Nordisk’s blockbuster drugs Ozempic and Wegovy she also discovered— blocking the TRPV1 receptor— could be a potential new mechanism for treating metabolic diseases Pila Pharma is entering a highly competitive market where unique advantages will determine success we are focused on generating clinical data on the safety and efficacy of XEN-D0501 for treating obesity and related conditions such as diabetes and the industry are all seeking effective weight-loss treatments without common side effects such as nausea If we can achieve this with an oral solution that can be scaled to meet market demand we envision a future where more patients have better access to sustainable weight management options – Approximately one-third of patients worldwide who use GLP-1 medications for severe obesity—such as Wegovy—discontinue treatment prematurely due to side effects If we can offer a scalable pill alternative based on small molecules it will significantly improve accessibility and help patients adhere to their treatment plans A Major Opportunity for Pill-Based Obesity Treatments Professor Jens Juul Holst from the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen was among the first to discover the GLP-1 hormone in 1986 which plays a key role in stimulating insulin secretion from the pancreas GLP-1 receptor agonists are used to treat type 2 diabetes and severe obesity He sees significant potential for pill-based obesity treatments in certain markets injection-based treatments pose a challenge making a pill a far more attractive option This is particularly true in Asian and African markets This factor is highly relevant to pharmaceutical companies many of which avoid investing in injectable drugs due to economic considerations He also predicts that pricing will play a decisive role in the future: small-molecule pills are poised to become a major success One key reason is that they can be sold at a significantly lower price point compared to biologic drugs The core asset of Pila Pharma is its TRPV1 inhibitor XEN-D0501 - an orally administered tablet currently in Phase 2 clinical development the company announced its engagement with regulatory authorities to define the optimal approach for its next clinical trial in obesity and diabetes Headquartered in Malmö, Pila Pharma is a biotech company specializing in oral treatments for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
