MILWAUKEE - Telkonet Inc. on Friday announced its been granted a $2 million tradition business credit line from San Jose, CA.-based Bridgebank.

The credit line will allow Telkonet the flexibility and capital to secure additional revenue projects, according to a company statement. Historically, many of Telkonet’s energy management projects have required the company to contribute cash toward a performance bond to secure and begin a project.

The addition of the credit line provides additional working capital, and allows Telkonet the ability to have multiple bonded projects open simultaneously, according to a company statement.

“Twenty four months ago, we could not even consider the possibility of a traditional credit line to assist in the growth of our business model,” said Jason Tienor, CEO of Telkonet. “However, we've been able to sanitize our balance sheet, introduce incredible technology and are now being recognized as a significant solution-provider in the rapidly expanding occupancy-based, energy management industry.”  

Milwaukee-based Telkonet is an energy management technology provider, which offers hardware, software and services to commercial customers worldwide.
