Collaboration Strengthens Existing VPP Integrations and Expands Access to Grid Services Programs for Fortress Power Battery Owners Across the U.S. and Puerto Rico

Langhorne, PA – July 21, 2026: Fortress Power, a leading manufacturer of advanced energy storage solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with Flip Energy, a technology platform that helps connect distributed energy resources with virtual power plant (VPP) and grid services programs. Through this collaboration, Fortress Power and Flip Energy will work together to expand and enhance VPP opportunities for Fortress Power battery owners across the United States and Puerto Rico.

Fortress Power has already established itself as a leader in the VPP space, with its energy storage systems participating in more than a dozen VPP programs nationwide and in Puerto Rico. Through successful programs such as LUMA’s Clean Energy Program (CBES) in Puerto Rico and Rocky Mountain Power’s Wattsmart Battery Program, Fortress Power customers have been able to earn incentives while supporting grid reliability and helping utilities better manage energy demand.

Through the partnership with Flip Energy, Fortress Power will continue strengthening its VPP ecosystem by improving both existing VPP integrations and future program expansion. Flip Energy will help streamline connections between Fortress Power systems and grid services programs, making it easier for more battery owners to participate in opportunities that provide additional value from their energy storage systems.

Fortress Power systems are already eligible for some of the industry’s most attractive VPP incentives, creating new opportunities for homeowners and businesses to maximize the return on their energy storage investment while contributing to a more stable and resilient electric grid.

“Virtual power plants represent the future of energy management, and Fortress Power is committed to helping homeowners and small business owners unlock the full value of their battery systems,” said Jing Yu, CEO of Fortress Power. “By partnering with Flip Energy, we are strengthening our existing VPP integrations while expanding access to new grid services programs. Together, we are creating more opportunities for system owners to benefit financially from their energy storage systems while supporting a more resilient and reliable energy grid.”

Flip Energy provides a technology platform that enables battery manufacturers, installers, utilities, and energy partners to integrate, operate and optimize energy storage systems across grid services opportunities. By streamlining VPP operations and participation, Flip helps accelerate the adoption of distributed energy resources while enabling battery owners to reliably provide stored energy when the grid needs it most.

“Fortress Power has already done the hard work of building a strong foundation in the VPP market,” said Sail Nepal, Co-Founder and CTO of Flip Energy. “They have proven their commitment through successful programs like LUMA’s CBES program in Puerto Rico and Rocky Mountain Power’s Wattsmart Battery Program. We’re excited to work with the Fortress team to help scale that work, strengthen existing integrations, and make it easier for more battery owners to participate in programs that support the grid and create new revenue opportunities.”
