"We are excited to have Vitol join our existing investors to help power our continued growth. It is clearer than ever that the future of energy relies on energy storage that is cost-effective, safe, and easy to manage. This latest round of investment expands the advantaged position that FlexGen has with our customers across the utility, IPP, and co-op markets," said Kelcy Pegler, CEO of FlexGen. "We are laser-focused on delivering the industry's best software and integration services to our valued clients."
"We will not reach our carbon reduction targets without energy storage, which addresses the intermittency of renewables generation and helps to create a more stable grid for the future. FlexGen is the leader in energy storage solutions, and we look forward to supporting the company's international expansion through our global footprint, as well as providing battery optimization solutions for FlexGen's customers," said R. Andrew de Pass, Head of Renewables, Vitol Inc.
FlexGen's proprietary energy management software platform, HybridOS, allows energy storage owners to deploy various power market strategies and combine storage solutions with any form of generation. The integration of energy storage requires software and technological solutions that play a critical role in the adoption of renewables at scale—offsetting the intermittency and reliability challenges that renewable power generation creates for the grid. Since its founding in 2009, FlexGen has installed over 3 GWh of energy storage systems across the U.S. for utility, microgrid, and C&I customers.
