Energy Plug and Malahat Battery Technology Announce Strategic Alliance with Quantum eMotion on Energy and Defence, Including NATO-Aligned Initiative

Rhea-AI Summary

Quantum eMotion (OTCQB: QNCCF), Energy Plug (OTCQB: PLGGF) and Malahat Battery Technology signed a Joint Development Agreement to co-develop and commercialize quantum-secured battery energy storage systems and defence solutions on October 14, 2025.

The partners will integrate Quantum eMotion's QRNG2 chip and QxEaaS entropy platform into Energy Plug and MBT BESS and EMS/PMS to provide hardware-level randomness and quantum-resilient security across edge, embedded, and cloud layers.

The alliance targets Arctic defence sites, portable field systems, and utility-scale smart grids, includes Indigenous-led MBT participation, and advances a NATO-aligned defence initiative with a leading defence contractor while pursuing other confidential international defence and energy collaborations under Canadian cybersecurity frameworks.

Positive

• Signed Joint Development Agreement to co-develop quantum-secured BESS
• Integration of QRNG2 hardware and QxEaaS entropy platform into energy systems
• Includes NATO-aligned defence initiative with a leading defence contractor

Negative

• No disclosed commercial value, timelines, or revenue targets for the JDA
• Identity and terms of the major international defence and energy partner remain confidential

Montreal, Quebec & Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 14, 2025) - Quantum eMotion Corp. (TSXV: QNC) (OTCQB: QNCCF) (FSE: 34Q0), Energy Plug Technologies Corp. (CSE: PLUG.CN) (OTCQB: PLGGF) (FSE: 6GQ), and Malahat Battery Technology Corp. ("MBT") are pleased to announce the signing of a Joint Development Agreement to co-develop and commercialize quantum-secured energy storage and defence systems for critical infrastructure.

This partnership integrates Quantum eMotion's patented technologies with Energy Plug and MBT's advanced Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and Energy Management Platforms (EMS/PMS) to deliver cyber-resilient, quantum-safe power systems capable of protecting national and industrial energy assets from emerging cyber and post-quantum threats.

Defence, Energy, and Indigenous Collaboration

MBT, an Indigenous-led enterprise affiliated with the Malahat Nation, will play a central role in system development, manufacturing, and Indigenous participation across defence and clean-energy programs.

The partners will jointly design and deploy quantum-secured BESS architectures supporting:

• Arctic defence installations and remote military bases,

• Portable field systems providing secure power and communications for deployed personnel,

• Utility-scale smart grids incorporating quantum-safe encryption within critical energy and IoT infrastructure.

Building on this foundation, EPT, MBT and QeM are advancing a NATO-aligned defence initiative in partnership with one of the world's leading defence contractors, while also pursuing collaborative projects with a major international defence and energy partner - whose identity remains confidential at this stage - all developed under shared Canadian cybersecurity frameworks to deliver secure, energy-resilient systems equipped with quantum-enhanced cybersecurity.

A New Standard in Secure Energy

Quantum eMotion's QRNG2 chip, based on electron-tunnelling quantum effects, delivers high-speed, true randomness at the hardware level, while its QxEaaS platform provides entropy-on-demand for secure communications and distributed control.

Integrated within Energy Plug and MBT's energy systems, these technologies establish a quantum-resilient security layer spanning embedded hardware, edge devices, and cloud infrastructure.

This collaboration positions Energy Plug among the first energy-technology companies to operationalize quantum-grade cybersecurity, setting a new benchmark for resilience and trust in intelligent, decentralized power systems.
