(OTC: CNTM) (\u201cConnectM\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d), a constellation of technology-driven businesses powering the modern energy economy, today announced that Keen Labs, its AI and technology subsidiary, has introduced the Hi-E\u2122 line of energy storage systems for long-duration and virtual power plant (\u201cVPP\u201d) applications.<\/p>\n<p>Developed by Keen Labs, the Hi-E\u2122 line leverages high energy density Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO\u2084) technology and is designed for residential and light commercial buildings. Hi-E\u2122 systems provide grid backup for whole-home or targeted electrical loads, support load leveling, and help customers manage peak time-of-use pricing. In markets where a relationship exists with the local utility, Hi-E\u2122 systems can also participate as controllable assets in VPP programs using ConnectM\u2019s proprietary power electronics architecture and energy management platform. Initially offered in 2 kWh to 5 kWh modules, the Hi-E\u2122 line can be configured or bundled to meet specific energy requirements for a wide range of applications.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Built for Flexibility and Lowering Energy Costs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Hi-E\u2122 line is designed for environments where flexibility in both space and duration of use is critical to maximizing ease of use and minimizing cost:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li style=\"margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:12pt;\"><strong>Integrated with Keen Heat Pumps:<\/strong> Hi-E\u2122 provides reliable, clean power to ConnectM\u2019s Keen Heat Pumps, reducing wear on the devices while helping users lower their overall energy costs.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:12pt;\"><strong>VPP-Ready:<\/strong> Where supported by local utilities, Hi-E\u2122 can function as part of a VPP, dynamically supporting individual electric assets such as induction cooktops, heat pumps, and LED lighting systems.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:12pt;\"><strong>Scalable Architecture:<\/strong> Multiple Hi-E\u2122 modules can be bundled to deliver longer duration, higher capacity solutions tailored to specific residential or small commercial sites.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By absorbing and releasing energy intelligently, the Hi-E\u2122 system helps reduce peak-load stress, extends useful life of connected assets, and lowers total cost of ownership across a range of equipment and use cases.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Digital-Native by Design<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Each Hi-E\u2122 system is designed to integrate natively with Keen Labs\u2019 Energy Intelligent Network\u2122, providing:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li style=\"margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:12pt;\">Real-time telemetry and health monitoring at the asset and fleet level;<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:12pt;\">Data feeds into ConnectM\u2019s analytics and optimization engines; and<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:12pt;\">Optional direct integration into customer data platforms and energy management systems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Customers can deploy Hi-E\u2122 as a standalone storage module, as part of broader ConnectM and Keen Labs solutions, or as a digitally connected asset within existing energy and infrastructure stacks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About ConnectM Technology Solutions, Inc.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>ConnectM brings together technology-driven businesses powering the modern energy economy.
