Energy Plug and Quantum eMotion Launch Joint Steering Committee, Accelerate Quantum-Secure Battery Integration for Critical Infrastructure

PLUG · Price

Executive Summary

  • Energy Plug Technologies and Quantum eMotion announced the formation of a Joint Development Steering Committee to integrate Quantum eMotion’s QRNG chips into Energy Plug’s next‑generation energy storage systems.
  • The committee has finalized architecture for QRNG‑secured firmware and encrypted battery management systems, ratified an IP co‑ownership framework, and approved a pilot deployment roadmap targeting Q1 2026 field trials with Canadian defence and utility partners.

Key Details

  • Joint Development Steering Committee established under the October 14 2025 agreement between Energy Plug Technologies Corp. (CSE: PLUG) and Quantum eMotion Corp. (TSXV: QNC).
  • Technical integration pathway defined to embed QRNG chips directly into Energy Plug’s battery management systems (BMS), enabling true post‑quantum cybersecurity for critical energy infrastructure.
  • Architecture finalized for QRNG‑secured firmware and encrypted BMS; IP co‑ownership framework ratified under Canadian jurisdiction.
  • Pilot deployment roadmap approved: first installations slated for secure telecom and microgrid sites, with prototype development targeted for Q1 2026 field trials involving Canadian defence and utility partners.
  • Quote – Dr. Ramtin Rasouli, CTO of Energy Plug: “Within weeks of signing, we've moved from concept to concrete engineering specifications.”
  • Quote – Francis Bellido, CEO of Quantum eMotion: “Our QRNG silicon is now being designed into Energy Plug's BMS at the chip level… delivering true post‑quantum cybersecurity for critical systems.”
  • Contextual data: Canada’s energy sector experienced a 23 % increase in ransomware attempts in 2024 versus 2022, underscoring the need for quantum‑grade security.
