Intel Capital is no stranger to the clean technology space, but today, it took its participation to the next level with five investments in green companies, amounting to $10 million in all. In the mix, it brought one new portfolio company, demand response firm CPower, into its fold.

While Intel declined to say how much it was giving each startup, it said it was providing follow-on investments to Irish company Powervation, and U.S.-based Convey Computer, Grid Net and iControl. VentureBeat reported on iControl’s fresh $23 million round of funding last week. Intel’s contribution is an extension to that round. The company makes home security and energy control systems that are sold and installed by home protection companies such as ADT Security Services.
