Ottawa, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - September 11, 2025) - Braille Energy Systems Inc. (TSXV: BES) ("BESI" or the "Company"), a leader in advanced energy storage and intelligent electrification solutions, is pleased to provide a corporate update on its product lines, growth strategy, and market outlook.
Electrafy: Enabling Reliable, Intelligent Energy Solutions
BESI's Electrafy platform-a turnkey high-density residential energy management and storage solution-is a proprietary BESI product for addressing the growing energy reliability needs in North America. As extreme weather events, rolling blackouts, and increasing strain on power grids highlight the vulnerabilities of existing infrastructure, Electrafy is positioned to deliver reliable, scalable solutions for customers seeking energy security and cost efficiency.
While initial pilot projects have targeted commercial fleets and microgrids, the Company sees significant opportunity for Electrafy in the high-density urban residential sector, including condominiums, multi-unit dwellings, and community developments. These applications are expected to benefit from modular storage and intelligent load-balancing capabilities that can reduce energy costs, enable backup power, and support the transition to electric mobility.
Go-to-Market Strategy and Partnerships
To accelerate adoption, BESI is advancing and expanding its partnership announced on January 8th with Enercare, one of North America's largest providers of energy services for the residential sector. Together, the companies are exploring deployment opportunities for Electrafy in multi-residential backup power systems. In addition, BESI is building out new distribution channels with technology integrators, utilities, and real estate developers to expand its market reach across residential, commercial, and fleet segments.
"Energy reliability is an area where our technology can make an impact," said Lindsay Weatherdon, President and CEO of Braille Energy Systems Inc. "Electrafy was designed to provide dependable, cost-effective backup power to the North American energy grid at a time when it faces new challenges. Our partnership with Enercare and other distribution initiatives will enable us to bring these benefits to more customers, faster."
"BESI has a history of innovation and performance with battery systems," said Jeffrey York, Chairman of the Board of Braille Energy Systems Inc. "With Electrafy, we are extending that leadership into a space that addresses a pressing issue: energy reliability. By combining our technology expertise with key industry partnerships, we are looking to play a role in improving the reliability of our energy systems in North America."
Braille Battery: Expanding Performance Applications
Alongside Electrafy, the Company's Braille Battery division continues to operate as a global leader in ultra-lightweight, high-performance lithium batteries. Trusted in professional racing and performance automotive sectors, Braille Battery is now focused on maintaining its reputation and continuing to provide customers with its batteries more efficiently.
Strategic Goals for 2025
For the remainder of the year, BESI will focus on:
- Scaling Electrafy pilot projects into full deployments with residential, fleet, and commercial customers
- Expanding partnerships with Enercare and additional distribution networks to reach high-density residential markets
- Continuing the commercial expansion of Braille Battery; and
- Optimizing operational efficiency to support sustainable growth and scalability.
Market Outlook
The dual pressures of electrification and grid reliability challenges are placing increasing strains on an aging electrical grid. BESI's product portfolio positions the Company to serve high-growth markets including residential energy reliability. "As we begin the commercial ramp-up of Electrafy, we are more focused than ever on bringing our products to customers that will benefit from them," added Lindsay Weatherdon. "We remain committed to creating long-term value for our shareholders by executing on our growth strategy and capturing opportunities in battery and energy storage sector, and high-performance battery markets."
