Emera Technologies and Novonix Launch Microgrid Battery

NOVONIX (NASDAQ: NVX, ASX: NVX, OTCQX: NVNXF) & Emera Technologies LLC (TSX:EMA) announced the delivery of their first-of-its-kind, custom-designed microgrid battery prototype.

“Emera Technologies and NOVONIX first announced their partnership to develop the innovative battery storage technology in Halifax early in 2021. The prototype was developed by NOVONIX to support Emera Technologies’ residential microgrid system, BlockEnergy™, which is operating in a residential pilot project south of Tampa, Florida.”

The BlockEnergy microgrid system enables rooftop solar power to be stored and distribute through smart distributed controls as it connects homes in a shared energy network.

“We’re continually innovating and investing in technologies that deliver high-performance battery materials to support longer life batteries and advanced storage systems,” said Dr. Chris Burns, Co-Founder and CEO of NOVONIX. “Our work with Emera for their BlockEnergy residential microgrid opens the gateway to exciting new possibilities for a cleaner, more reliable power grid with renewables being produced, stored and consumed within local communities. It will change the landscape of how we produce and consume energy going forward.”
