DOE Grant to Boost Elexity’s Battery Software Revolution for Commercial Buildings

Elexity, a trailblazing player in the realm of virtual power plant software for commercial buildings, has secured a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). This grant is set to catalyze a groundbreaking transformation in battery software for commercial buildings. Elexity’s mission to redefine how buildings control energy is gaining momentum, and this partnership with the DOE is a significant leap towards revolutionizing the energy landscape.

The primary objective of this collaboration is to seamlessly integrate energy storage with Elexity’s cutting-edge load control and solar optimization software. By doing so, they aim to create a comprehensive whole-building solution that not only enhances energy efficiency but also ensures uninterrupted operations during power outages.

Elexity is all set to initiate the testing and development phase at the CPS America Innovation Center near Dallas, Texas. Through rigorous testing, they will demonstrate the immense potential of combining energy storage with intelligent load control technology. Some of the key advantages include extended backup power, reduced costs for installing EV charging infrastructure, increased participation in utility load flexibility programs, and amplified savings through demand charge and time of use arbitrage bill optimization.

Casey Miler, CEO of Elexity, expressed excitement about the partnership with CPS America, highlighting its potential to accelerate the adoption of energy storage in the U.S. market. Bryan Wagner, GM of CPS America, also emphasized the unique nature of the collaboration and its potential to deliver compelling benefits to commercial customers and utilities alike.

Elexity and CPS America are now actively seeking pilot opportunities to deploy this innovative system. Utilities, solar developers, and commercial building owners interested in exploring this groundbreaking solution are encouraged to reach out to Elexity through their website.

This partnership between Elexity and the DOE signifies a significant step forward in the journey towards a cleaner, more efficient energy grid. By harnessing the power of advanced software and energy storage, they are poised to make a lasting impact on the energy landscape, benefitting both businesses and the environment.
