Maplewell Energy<\/a>, a virtual power plant developer, and zinc-battery developer Urban Electric Power<\/a> (UEP) have entered into a strategic partnership. Maplewell will use UEP batteries in VPPs throughout North America for commercial and industrial customers. The storage systems will use Maplewell’s energy management system JANiiT to participate in grid services opportunities.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>JANiiT provides real-time demand charge management and demand response for commercial and industrial buildings up to 250,000 ft2<\/sup>, providing customers demand response revenue and demand charge savings. UEP zinc-manganese-dioxide batteries have gone through UL testing that does not show thermal runaway properties.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter an exhaustive review of battery technology, we chose to partner with Urban Electric Power because of their patented zinc-based technology, the low carbon impact of sourcing zinc compared to other minerals, and their material chemistry advantages within the C&I space,\u201d said Matt Irvin, CEO & Co-Founder of Maplewell. \u201cBy pairing these two innovative technologies, we\u2019ve gained a unique competitive advantage in our go-to-market.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMaplewell\u2019s software is the perfect fit for Urban Electric Power\u2019s battery design. Their predictive analytics and control will allow our customers to tap into a broader range of energy asset management tools,\u201d said Scott Macon, Urban Electric Power\u2019s Chief Business Officer. \u201cWe\u2019ve created a unified appliance that is greater than the sum of its parts.\u201d<\/p>\n

The partnership will begin with three pilot projects deployed this year.<\/p>\n
