NGIF Accelerator Awards $231,792 to Serenity Power to Develop Clean, Reliable Power Solutions for the Energy Sector
April 23, 2026
CALGARY, AB (April 23, 2026): As part of its efforts to advance innovation in natural gas, NGIF Accelerator is proud to announce a grant of $231,792.53 to Serenity Power to support the development of its compact solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). This funding will help Serenity Power build and test their technology that produces electricity and heat right where they are needed.
Serenity Power, a finalist of the NGIF Accelerator Cleantech Challenge, is creating innovative fuel cells that are efficient and flexible. These compact systems can run on natural gas, hydrogen, or a mix of both. They are designed to provide dependable power for places like natural gas stations, remote monitoring sites, and other areas where traditional power sources are costly or unreliable. Unlike older generators that run on diesel or thermoelectric units, these new fuel cells produce cleaner energy with less maintenance.

Currently, Serenity Power is building a small 100W prototype, enough to power small equipment on-site. They plan to have this prototype ready within a year. After testing it in real-world conditions in Alberta, Serenity Power will develop larger systems that can produce up to 1kW. These bigger units will be useful for industrial sites, remote communities, and other places that need dependable power without relying on diesel generators.
Looking further ahead, Serenity Power aims to build even larger systems over the next few years, capable of providing power on a scale suitable for utility companies. Their goal is to help reduce emissions, lower operational costs, and modernize energy infrastructure across the industry.
“By supporting the development of Serenity Power’s fuel cells, we are one step closer to increasing the efficiency of power sources used across the natural gas industry,” said John Adams, CEO of NGIF Accelerator. “Through our Industry Grants program, NGIF Accelerator helps de-risk emerging technologies through field trials and pilot projects, accelerating industry validation, customer adoption, and commercialization.”
“NGIF Accelerator has been instrumental in shaping Serenity Power’s direction and impact, connecting us directly with industry leaders, helping us understand customer pain points, and ultimately inspiring our decision to set up operations in Calgary. Their commitment to supporting companies that are reducing emissions has been invaluable as we work to bring cleaner power solutions to the sector,” said Aleisha Cerny, CEO, Serenity Power.
