TORONTO, Aug. 9, 2017 /CNW/ - Peak Power Inc., a leading energy storage service provider, announced today that it has been selected to receive $1.9M of funding from SDTC to support the scale up of their Peak SYNERGY^TM controls platform across six (6) customer sited energy storage projects in Ontario, Canada and New York, USA.  The total value of project is $5.4M. 

This project will enable Peak Power to scale and deploy its Peak SYNERGY^TM controls platform, a proprietary system that optimizes the operation of energy storage systems to maximize the potential benefits for both building owners and utilities.  Peak Power's software responds to market signals and predicts the most efficient times to charge and discharge the battery.
