The firming layer · behind the meter

On-site power, made GPU-grade.

Turbines can reach an AI campus in months. What they can't do on their own is follow GPU load swings. Battery Vault builds the layer that closes that gap: a two-tier battery bank and PlantOS, our plant controller, designed into power islands our partners deliver.

Generation runs steady. GPUs spike. The Vault banks the difference. That difference is the layer we build.
The constraint

AI compute is ready years before the grid is.

Our customers have land, capital and GPUs on order. What they don't have is a grid connection before the 2030s.

Power is the binding constraint on AI build-out.

The solution

A behind-the-meter power island, delivered.

Partners deliver the megawatts. Our layer makes them GPU-grade: a two-tier battery bank and one supervisory controller, designed in from day one.

01 · Generation — partner-delivered

The megawatts

Turbine capacity from established energy partners, deployable in months rather than on a transmission timeline. We don't build generation — our layer sits in front of it.

02 · The Vault — ours

Two-tier battery

Energy is banked and released as GPU load swings, absorbing the transients that generation can't follow on its own. The load sees steady power.

03 · Control — ours

One plant controller

PlantOS, our supervisory software, runs generation and battery as one plant. Dispatch, buffering and islanding are handled in one place instead of being split across vendors.

“Another BESS startup?”

No. We don't trade storage in energy markets and we don't sell power. We supply the battery architecture and the control software that let a power island hold GPU-grade power quality.

What we are

We don't sell electrons. We make them firm.

Battery Vault is neither a battery manufacturer nor a utility. We design the firming layer, the vault and PlantOS, and deliver it inside power-island projects led by established energy partners.

Why now

AI power is going behind the meter, at gigawatt scale.

Grid connections take years AI operators don't have. So generation is moving on-site: turbines, engines, microgrids. A new asset class is being built at speed.

The operators with capital are no longer waiting for the utility. They're signing for on-site power today — and every one of those projects needs a firming layer to make it GPU-grade. That layer is what we sell.

Where we win

The trade-offs, side by side.

On-site megawatts arrive in months. Whether they're GPU-grade is decided by the firming layer.
