Vancouver’s Aegis Energy Expands Tech Innovation into US Market

Vancouver’s Aegis Critical Energy Defence is partnering with others to launch collaborative products.

The B.C. energy technology company targets residential, commercial, and utility-scale energy storage with AI-driven solutions.

This includes supporting defence and security applications by delivering “energy systems for assets that cannot fail,” such as military bases, radar systems, command facilities, ports, and mobile or remote defence operations.

Battery Energy Storage System innovation is being worked on by Aegis alongside partners like Montreal’s Quantum eMotion, a deep-tech company developing quantum-safe cybersecurity solutions, as well as Taiwan’s SEETEL New Energy, a Taipei-based manufacturer and systems integrator specializing in high-performance lithium battery modules and energy-storage systems for global industrial and grid applications.

Founded in 2010, the publicly traded Aegis continues to advance its core offerings into critical infrastructure, defence, industrial, and AI data centre markets, according to a statement from the firm.

For example, Aegis intends to integrate Quantum eMotion’s hardware-based Quantum Random Number Generator chips into the company’s energy storage systems.

The Canadian company is also expanding its offerings south of the border, noting its first operational installation in the US this month.

In addition, Aegis executed a Memorandum of Understanding with Malahat Energy Systems and Ontario Tech University (which offers Canada’s only fully accredited undergraduate nuclear engineering program) to advance research and development of hybrid nuclear energy architectures that integrate Small Modular Reactors with Battery Energy Storage System and intelligent controls.

And, in a strategic extension of its product portfolio, Aegis announced the official formation of a wholly-owned subsidiary, Homeland Nuclear Energy, which is dedicated to the development and deployment of Micro Modular Reactors within hybrid energy systems.

The move follows a rising trend of nuclear projects and innovations in Canada.

Most recently, Aegis tapped Ontario marketing firm Outside The Box Capital to provide “investor awareness services” such as strategic planning, social media and community engagement, and distribution of materials at a cost of US$250,000.

Moving forward, Aegis intends to continue launching BESS deployments, developing Nuclear-hybrid innovations, and establishing strategic partnerships, according to a statement from the firm.
