EVLO Energy storage

What EVLO Energy storage does

EVLO Energy Storage (legal name: Stockage d'énergie EVLO inc.) is a Quebec, Canada-domiciled, wholly owned subsidiary of Hydro-Québec, North America's largest renewable energy producer, founded in 2018 to commercialize decades of Hydro-Québec battery research. The company designs, manufactures, and services utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) based on lithium-iron phosphate (LiFePO/LFP) chemistry, delivered through a portfolio spanning the 5 MWh-class EVLO SYNERGY (liquid-cooled, 20-foot container, 2-4 hour duration), the configurable EVLOFLEX (1.65-2.5 MWh, UL 9540 / NFPA 855 compliant, 20-year design life), and smaller EVLO 1000/500/300/125 battery units. Its proprietary EVLOGIX energy management system (EMS) provides utility-grade SCADA security, NERC-CIP readiness, and algorithms that route power across individual battery strings to deliver grid services including frequency control, voltage control, peak shaving, arbitrage, and renewable integration.

The company sells directly to electric utilities (investor-owned, cooperative, and municipal), independent power producers (IPPs), and government entities through enterprise field sales, with no resellers or distributors. Commercial terms are project-based, quote-driven, and bundled with 20-year monitoring and maintenance service agreements, producing a mix of upfront hardware revenue and long-tail recurring service revenue. EVLO's deployed footprint spans Quebec, British Columbia, Vermont, Virginia (300+ MWh with Dominion Energy), Southern California, American Samoa (island microgrids with ASPA), and France (Tonnerre with Innergex), making it a North American-headquartered utility-scale BESS provider with international references and growing U.S. utility penetration. Growth is funded by Hydro-Québec rather than external capital, positioning EVLO as a strategic commercialization vehicle for the parent's R&D rather than a standalone venture-backed business.
