Agreement Reserves Approximately
Represents First Commercial Capacity Reservation Under Previously Announced Approximately
SAN DIEGO, Sept. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NeoVolta Inc. (NASDAQ: NEOV) (“NeoVolta” or the “Company”), a U.S.-based energy technology company delivering scalable energy storage solutions, today announced that its majority-owned subsidiary, NeoVolta Power, LLC (“NeoVolta Power”), has entered into a binding capacity reservation agreement with Infinite Grid Capital (“IGC”) to provide battery energy storage system (“BESS”) equipment for North Ontario Edge artificial intelligence datacenter (“Edge AIDC”) projects for calendar year 2027.
Today’s announcement represents the first major commercial commitment under NeoVolta Power’s previously announced utility-scale framework with IGC, which contemplates approximately 1.1 GWh of potential BESS deployments and approximately
“This is an important commercial milestone for NeoVolta Power and a meaningful validation of the platform we have built at Pendergrass,” said Ardes Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of NeoVolta. “The project demonstrates how our BESS manufacturing, a differentiated supply-chain strategy, and scalable energy-storage products can address the rapidly growing power-infrastructure needs of data centers and other energy-intensive customers. As we advance the production ramp at Pendergrass, our focus is on executing this initial commitment and converting additional qualified demand into binding customer orders.”
Utility-Scale Demand Validation
The capacity reservation agreement is intended to support the Northern Ontario Edge AIDC project and represents an initial commercial step within NeoVolta’s broader relationship with IGC. The relationship was previously announced as a non-binding framework spanning approximately 1.1 GWh of potential demand.
The Company believes the initial data-center-related commitment is strategically significant. Growth in artificial intelligence and data-center infrastructure is increasing the need for reliable, scalable power solutions, and BESS is expected to play an increasingly important role in supporting grid reliability, load management, and project-level energy resilience. The commitment provides commercial validation for NeoVolta Power’s utility-scale product offering and its domestic BESS manufacturing strategy.
Pendergrass Grand Opening
NeoVolta will host a grand-opening ceremony for its NeoVolta Power facility in Pendergrass, Georgia, later today. Members of NeoVolta management, key strategic partners, media, and local officials are expected to attend.
The event marks the official opening of the Company’s 210,600-square-foot facility, a purpose-built domestic BESS manufacturing platform designed to assemble commercial, industrial, and utility-scale energy-storage products. The Company’s initial Pendergrass production line is advancing through commissioning and Site Acceptance Testing, and the production ramp remains on track for the fourth quarter of calendar 2026.
NeoVolta expects to provide additional updates regarding the commissioning process, manufacturing milestones, and commercial activity as appropriate.
