TAE Power Solutions Ships First Hybrid Energy Storage Prototype System to MARA
FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif., June 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- TAE Power Solutions, a technology company delivering advanced power management
and energy storage solutions for a more resilient electric future, today announced the shipment of its first hybrid energy storage prototype system to MARA Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: MARA) (“MARA”), a leading energy and digital infrastructure company.
This shipment marks the first field deployment of TAE Power Solutions’ hybrid energy storage architecture under the companies’ previously announced strategic collaboration to develop grid-responsive load management and energy storage solutions for
power-intensive digital infrastructure operations.
The prototype system will be installed at a MARA site and used for field validation, tuning, development, and operational testing.
The shipment represents a key milestone in the companies' commercial relationship and advances TAE Power Solutions' development of hybrid energy storage systems for demanding industrial power applications.
TAE Power Solutions’ hybrid architecture combines battery energy storage, ultracapacitor technology, advanced power electronics, and
intelligent controls to support both sustained energy needs and fast-response power events. By pairing batteries with ultracapacitors, the system is designed to enable customers to manage load volatility, transient conditions, and high-performance
duty cycles in applications where conventional battery-only energy storage systems may face performance or lifecycle limitations.
“Shipping our first hybrid energy storage prototype to MARA is an important step in our collaboration to move this technology from
development into a real-world operating environment,” said Francisco Garcia, General Manager, Stationary Energy Storage at TAE Power Solutions. “MARA's operating profile gives us a valuable opportunity to validate performance, collect field data,
and refine the system ahead of future production deployments. It is exactly the type of demanding power environment where hybrid storage can demonstrate its value.”
MARA is expected to use the prototype system as a development platform to refine system performance and operating modes at one of
its sites, ahead of additional production hybrid energy storage system deployments planned for later this year. The deployment supports the companies' ongoing collaboration focused on managing load variability and supporting grid efficiency.
TAE Power Solutions’ hybrid energy storage platform is part of the company's broader portfolio of advanced energy storage and power
management solutions for industrial, grid, and data center applications. The company's technology leverages its foundation in high-speed power electronics and precision control systems originally developed by TAE Technologies, Inc. (“TAE”) for its
fusion energy programs.
Quick Facts:
|
• |
Designed to extend battery life: Ultracapacitors can support a much higher
number of charge / discharge cycles than conventional batteries, making them well suited for rapid power fluctuations. By routing those high-stress events through ultracapacitors, the hybrid system is designed to reduce battery cycling
stress and support longer battery operating life.
|
|
• |
Built for demanding energy profiles: As an integrated system, the hybrid
platform is designed to support both short-duration power events and sustained energy needs in demanding applications such as high-performance computing and AI data centers.
|
|
• |
Rooted in fusion-derived power expertise: The platform applies TAE's
high-speed power management experience from fusion energy development to commercial energy and compute infrastructure applications.

Important Information About the TMTG Merger and Where to Find It
In connection with the TMTG Merger, TMTG intends to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement on Form
S-4 to register the common stock of TMTG (“TMTG Shares”) to be issued in connection with the TMTG Merger. The registration statement will include a document that serves as a proxy statement and prospectus of TMTG and consent solicitation statement
of TAE (the “proxy statement/prospectus and consent solicitation statement”), and TMTG will file other documents regarding the TMTG Merger with the SEC. This document is not a substitute for the registration statement, the proxy
statement/prospectus and consent solicitation statement, or any other document that TMTG may file with the SEC. BEFORE MAKING ANY VOTING DECISION, INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT, THE PROXY
