Voltus, Inc., the leading virtual power plant (VPP) operator and distributed energy resource (DER) platform, announced on June 10 its acquisition of Brightfield AI.
Commercial and industrial energy storage is a large, untapped opportunity: while the C&I sector accounts for 60% of total U.S. electricity consumption, it currently hosts less than 1% of installed BESS capacity. Brightfield is an agentic battery project development company whose platform dramatically reduces the time and cost involved in deploying energy storage, allowing its EPC partners to cost-effectively deploy batteries at scale.
