Viridi and Budderfly have announced a strategic partnership to deploy Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) at 100 commercial sites across the United States. The initiative is aimed at helping businesses improve energy efficiency, strengthen resilience, and better manage electricity costs amid rising power demand.
Under the collaboration, Budderfly will integrate Viridi’s battery storage technology into its Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) platform. The deployment will support a wide range of commercial customers by providing advanced energy management solutions without requiring significant upfront investments.
The companies said the battery energy storage systems will help businesses reduce peak demand charges, optimize energy consumption, and enhance backup power capabilities. The move is expected to support organizations seeking greater control over energy usage while improving overall operational performance.
Initial installations are already underway in several key markets, including Massachusetts, Connecticut, and California. These projects are designed to demonstrate the benefits of distributed energy resources and support efforts to build a more flexible and resilient energy infrastructure.
One of the first deployments under the partnership includes the installation of Budderfly-branded battery storage units at the headquarters of OEM Controls in Shelton, Connecticut. The project highlights the growing role of battery storage solutions in supporting commercial and industrial energy needs.
Viridi and Budderfly believe the partnership will accelerate the adoption of battery energy storage technologies across the commercial sector. By combining advanced storage systems with comprehensive energy management services, the companies aim to deliver long-term value, improved efficiency, and enhanced energy reliability for businesses throughout the United States.
