Viridi and Budderfly Scale Commercial Battery Storage to 100 Sites Nationwide

Viridi, the industry leader in fail-safe battery energy storage systems (BESS), and Budderfly, the fastest-growing energy-as-a-service company in the U.S., announced a nationwide deployment initiative that will bring Viridi's commercial battery energy storage systems to 100 Budderfly-managed commercial sites across the United States. This partnership marks a significant expansion of Budderfly's leading energy infrastructure platform, helping commercial facilities such as restaurants, retail, fitness, and manufacturing sites to modernize aging energy infrastructure, improve energy performance and strengthen operational efficiency without the upfront investment.

As businesses face rising electricity demand, grid constraints, and increasing pressure to improve resiliency, distributed energy storage is becoming an increasingly important part of commercial energy infrastructure. Viridi's RPSLinkEX systems are engineered for seamless commercial integration and support broader efforts to strengthen grid resiliency and long-term energy optimization. As part of Budderfly's integrated energy efficiency and energy management solution, the battery systems will help manage energy demand while supporting broader grid flexibility initiatives.

"As electricity demand continues to grow, businesses need integrated energy solutions that help them operate more efficiently while supporting the evolving needs of the grid," said Al Subbloie, CEO of Budderfly. "This partnership is an important milestone in Budderfly's multi-phase energy storage strategy, which will see deployments to thousands of commercial sites."

"As businesses face growing pressure to improve energy resiliency, safety has become one of the most important considerations in commercial battery storage deployment," said Jon M. Williams, CEO of Viridi. "Our partnership with Budderfly demonstrates that scalable energy storage systems can be deployed efficiently without compromising on safety, reliability, or performance. Together, we're helping customers address growing energy demand challenges while supporting a more resilient energy future."

Battery deployments are now advancing across Massachusetts, Connecticut, and California in the first phase of Budderfly's strategic expansion to build a network of flexible, grid-responsive energy assets. The latest deployment features two custom Budderfly-branded units installed at the Shelton, Connecticut headquarters of OEM Controls, a leading manufacturer of industrial control systems and electronic technologies for commercial and industrial equipment markets. This builds on Viridi battery systems already installed at three Dunkin' and 99 Restaurants locations
