GivEnergy and Intertrust Partner to Deploy Secure, Interoperable Batteries

GivEnergy, a leading provider of battery storage solutions, announced a strategic partnership with Intertrust to deploy secure, interoperable battery systems globally. As part of the partnership, the company joined the Trusted Energy Interoperability Alliance (TEIA) to advance this open-standards initiative.

“As distributed energy resources become increasingly essential for our energy future, the need for secure connectivity and interoperability has never been more urgent,” said Jason Osler, CEO of GivEnergy. “By joining TEIA and partnering with Intertrust, we're committing to an open, secure ecosystem that will benefit not just our customers, but the entire industry.”

The partnership delivers three key innovations to the distributed energy market:

• Enhanced grid services. The partnership enables virtual power plants (VPPs), flexibility energy providers and distributed energy management systems (DERMs) to seamlessly integrate secure battery systems, significantly improving operational efficiency, security and grid management capabilities.
• Intertrust Connect integration. GivEnergy and Intertrust will provide TEIA-compliant secure, interoperable batteries to customers, enabling secure communication with other TEIA-compliant energy assets regardless of manufacturer using the Intertrust Connect secure TEIA system.
• Advancing Interoperability via the TEIA standard. GivEnergy’s participation in TEIA adds valuable expertise to the advancement of the TEIA specifications, adding real world technical expertise from 13 years of deployments around the world.

“We're delighted to partner with GivEnergy to field TEIA-compatible solutions through Intertrust Connect,” said Talal G. Shamoon, Intertrust CEO. “Our collaboration delivers secure interoperability for distributed energy resources while adhering to the industry standards that TEIA represents.”

Founded in early 2024 by E.ON, GS Energy, JERA, Origin Energy and Intertrust, TEIA provides a common secure trust model for digital energy services. TEIA specifications allow digital energy systems to securely access and control Internet connected devices from different OEMs using a common security model, solving the problem of managing multiple proprietary OEM security systems. TEIA complements standards like Mercury, providing a security layer that allows interoperability.

“Security is critical to power companies and OEMs fielding AI/IoT driven digital energy systems such as VPPs,” said Cameron Briggs, TEIA’s chairman. “We welcome them to the initiative and look forward to collaborating closely with them as we advance the standard.”
