December 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – ConnectM Technology Solutions, Inc. (OTC: CNTM) (“ConnectM” or the “Company”), a constellation of technology-driven businesses powering the modern energy economy, today announced that Keen Labs, its AI and technology subsidiary, has introduced the Hi-E™ line of energy storage systems for long-duration and virtual power plant (“VPP”) applications.
Developed by Keen Labs, the Hi-E™ line leverages high energy density Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO₄) technology and is designed for residential and light commercial buildings. Hi-E™ systems provide grid backup for whole-home or targeted electrical loads, support load leveling, and help customers manage peak time-of-use pricing. In markets where a relationship exists with the local utility, Hi-E™ systems can also participate as controllable assets in VPP programs using ConnectM’s proprietary power electronics architecture and energy management platform. Initially offered in 2 kWh to 5 kWh modules, the Hi-E™ line can be configured or bundled to meet specific energy requirements for a wide range of applications.
Built for Flexibility and Lowering Energy Costs
The Hi-E™ line is designed for environments where flexibility in both space and duration of use is critical to maximizing ease of use and minimizing cost:
Integrated with Keen Heat Pumps: Hi-E™ provides reliable, clean power to ConnectM’s Keen Heat Pumps, reducing wear on the devices while helping users lower their overall energy costs.
VPP-Ready: Where supported by local utilities, Hi-E™ can function as part of a VPP, dynamically supporting individual electric assets such as induction cooktops, heat pumps, and LED lighting systems.
Scalable Architecture: Multiple Hi-E™ modules can be bundled to deliver longer duration, higher capacity solutions tailored to specific residential or small commercial sites.
By absorbing and releasing energy intelligently, the Hi-E™ system helps reduce peak-load stress, extends useful life of connected assets, and lowers total cost of ownership across a range of equipment and use cases.
Digital-Native by Design
Each Hi-E™ system is designed to integrate natively with Keen Labs’ Energy Intelligent Network™, providing:
Real-time telemetry and health monitoring at the asset and fleet level;
Data feeds into ConnectM’s analytics and optimization engines;
Optional direct integration into customer data platforms and energy management systems.
Customers can deploy Hi-E™ as a standalone storage module, as part of broader ConnectM and Keen Labs solutions, or as a digitally connected asset within existing energy and infrastructure stacks.
