Chevron is joined by Piva Capital, Bill Gates’ Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Proman, Alfa Laval and Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz in the fundraising round, which topped $60 million. Malta spokesman Matt Burke said the funding will support construction of the company’s first 100 MW plant relying on thermal energy storage.
