AEGIS, SEETEL AND MALAHAT LAUNCH 5 MWH MBT-SEETEL ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM BUILT FOR EXTREME CONDITIONS AND NATO-ALIGNED STANDARDS WITH FULLY ALLIED SUPPLY CHAIN

Aegis Critical Energy Defence Corp., in collaboration with Seetel New Energy and Malahat Battery Technologies, has launched the five-megawatt-hour MBT-Seetel containerized energy storage system, engineered for scalable deployment across the Americas and designed for extreme all-weather and mission-critical environments.

The MBT-Seetel establishes a new benchmark for safety, scalability, sovereign supply-chain security and defence-grade resilience. The system combines indigenous-led integration, Canadian technology development and global manufacturing expertise to meet rapidly growing demand from utilities, defence agencies, remote and indigenous communities, ports, emergency-response operators, and data centres seeking dependable grid-scale storage.

Key features and strategic advantages:

• Fully certified for North America: designed to meet UL 9540 and UL 9540A requirements;
• Fully certified in Europe: first delivery expected in Q2 2026 in Europe with discussions continuing with German distributors;
• Commissioning-ready design: factory tested (FAT) using a dedicated microgrid at the manufacturing facility, enabling true plug-and-play deployment;
• Flexible delivery: lead times of six to nine months depending on configuration;
• Global manufacturing footprint: production in Taiwan and Canada ensures resilient, China-independent supply chains and allied sourcing;
• Defence-grade engineering: built to withstand extreme operating environments and aligned with NATO-grade (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) design principles;
• Allied smart-component supply chain:
  • Mission-critical microelectronics and semiconductors;
  • Advanced composite materials;
  • Lithium-ion energy storage systems;
  • AI-enabled (artificial intelligence) sensing and monitoring;
  • Secure chips and cryptographic modules for cyber-resilient operation;
• Canadian technology contributions:
  • Quantum Emotion (Quebec): provides a quantum-security layer to protect system integrity;
  • NorthWest Mettech (British Columbia): supplies advanced materials technologies;
• Proven global expertise: Seetel New Energy brings decades of gigawatt-hour-scale production and EPC (engineering, procurement, construction) experience across Japan and Taiwan;
• Indigenous-led integration: Malahat Battery Technology, an enterprise of the Malahat Nation, leads system integration and engineering;
• Safety-centric design: AI-enhanced thermal management, advanced cooling and integrated fire suppression ensure long-term reliability in harsh environments.

"The MBT-Seetel is engineered as a mission-ready platform for defence energy resilience and sovereign infrastructure protection," said Chris McGillivray, director of sales at Aegis Critical Defence. "By integrating Canadian quantum security, advanced materials and indigenous-led system engineering -- and ensuring all smart components come from NATO-aligned suppliers -- we are delivering a field-ready capability aligned with defence priorities: safety, interoperability, survivability and secure allied-source supply chains."

The MBT-Seetel supports multiple operational requirements, including:

• Forward operating base (FOB) energy support;
• Arctic and extreme-environment deployments;
• Remote radar and telecom station power;
• Port and naval infrastructure energy resilience;
• Emergency response and disaster relief power nodes;
• Grid-independent backup for classified or critical facilities;
• Hybridized microgrid architectures with diesel offset.

"This past year marked a defining chapter for Aegis," said Paul Dickson, chief executive officer of Aegis Critical Energy Defence. "We successfully transformed the company from Energy Plug into a defence and critical-infrastructure-focused platform, unified our public market identity across Canada, the United States and Europe, and materially strengthened our balance sheet. Operationally, we moved from vision to execution -- launching next-generation battery energy storage systems, including our 261-kilowatt-hour platform and the Tough Bhoy, a quantum-secured, minus-50-C-rated solution purpose built for Arctic, defence and remote deployments. We deepened strategic partnerships with Seetel, Quantum Emotion and Malahat Battery Technologies, embedding hardware-level quantum cybersecurity and advancing indigenous-led manufacturing and delivery. Commercial momentum accelerated through U.S. system sales, secured preorders, and the formation of Cordelia BESS to pursue grid-scale opportunities in Ontario's LT2 procurement. Collectively, these milestones reflect disciplined execution, growing market validation and our clear focus on delivering secure, resilient energy systems for mission-critical environments."
