Installation phase will deploy NOMAD’s transportable battery energy storage technology at sites within Green Mountain Power’s service territory
BOCA RATON, Fla., Aug. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NOMAD Power Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: NMAD), through its wholly-owned subsidiary NOMAD Transportable Power Systems, Inc. (NOMAD), today announced that the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Electricity has authorized the company to advance into Phase 3 of the Vermont Long Duration Energy Storage Demonstration Project.
This approximately $19 million project is expected to deploy up to eight NOMAD transportable battery energy storage system (“BESS”) units across five sites within Green Mountain Power’s (“GMP”) service territory in Vermont.
The project’s advancement follows GMP’s operational use of an existing NOMAD system for peak management and to maintain service to customers during planned utility maintenance. NOMAD believes these applications demonstrate the platform’s ability to support multiple utility requirements using a transportable energy storage asset.
Project and Commercial Highlights:
- DOE project advancement: Authorization to proceed into Phase 3 moves the Vermont project into installation, integration and construction.
- Operational utility applications: GMP has used an existing NOMAD system for peak management and to maintain customer service during planned maintenance.
- Flexible asset deployment: NOMAD’s patented platform is designed to be moved among locations and used for peak management, emergency response, maintenance support, renewable energy integration and other grid-resilience applications.
- Cost-shared project support: The approximately $19 million project is supported by a $9.5 million DOE award and an approximately 50% non-federal cost share, with future reimbursements subject to the terms and milestones of the cooperative agreement.
“Advancing into Phase 3 marks another important milestone for NOMAD and reflects our team’s progress against the technical and performance requirements established under the DOE award," said Geordan Pursglove, CEO of NOMAD Power Solutions. “Green Mountain Power’s operational use of our technology also demonstrates how a transportable energy storage system can support multiple utility needs. We believe mobility can enable utilities to deploy storage where and when it is needed, improving flexibility and potentially increasing asset utilization.”
Unlike conventional stationary battery installations, which are generally designed for a specific location and application, NOMAD’s patented transportable platform is engineered to be redeployed as operational requirements change. A single system can potentially support seasonal peak management, planned maintenance, emergency response, renewable energy integration, infrastructure upgrades and critical-facility resilience at multiple locations over its operating life.
Phase 3 of the Vermont project will incorporate NOMAD’s latest platform, including next-generation lithium iron phosphate batteries and microgrid-enabled controls. The project is intended to demonstrate how transportable, long-duration energy storage can provide a flexible and cost-effective resource for improving grid reliability and resilience in rural communities.
GMP has used its existing NOMAD unit for peak management and to maintain power to commercial customers during planned utility maintenance, helping businesses continue operating while grid work was completed. NOMAD believes these real-world applications illustrate the operating flexibility that transportable utility-scale storage can bring to utilities and provide a valuable commercial reference as the company engages additional utility and industrial customers.
"Mobility expands the range of applications that utilities can address with an energy storage asset," said Chris McKay, Chief Operating Officer of NOMAD. "Reaching Phase 3 under the DOE award is an important project milestone, while Green Mountain Power's experience demonstrates the platform’s practical operating flexibility. We believe transportable storage can become an increasingly valuable tool as utilities respond to evolving grid requirements."
With authorization to proceed into Phase 3, NOMAD will continue work under DOE award DE-OE0000952 in accordance with the project's Statement of Project Objectives. The milestone advances NOMAD's efforts to demonstrate transportable battery energy storage as a flexible and potentially capital-efficient resource for utilities and other critical power users while supporting the company's broader commercialization strategy across North America.
