Energy Plug Technologies and Quantum eMotion have confirmed the launch and first working session of their Joint Development Steering Committee, established under the agreement signed in October 2025.
The committee has already set out technical pathways to embed Quantum eMotion’s hardware-based Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) chips into Energy Plug’s next-generation energy storage systems. This marks a decisive step forward, moving beyond planning into prototype development, with field trials scheduled for Q1 2026 alongside Canadian defence and utility partners.
In the inaugural session, several key milestones were achieved. The architecture for QRNG-secured firmware and encrypted battery management systems (BMS) was completed; an intellectual property co-ownership framework was ratified under Canadian jurisdiction; and a pilot deployment roadmap was approved, with the first installations scheduled for secure telecom and microgrid sites.
“Within weeks of signing, we’ve moved from concept to concrete engineering specifications,” said Dr Ramtin Rasouli, CTO of Energy Plug.
Francis Bellido, CEO of Quantum eMotion, added, “Our QRNG silicon is now being designed into Energy Plug’s BMS at the chip level. This is one of the first known integration of space-grade quantum entropy into North American energy storage – delivering true post-quantum cyber security for critical systems.”
The collaboration directly addresses escalating cyber threats. Canada’s energy sector saw ransomware attempts rise by 23% between 2022 and 2024, with state-sponsored actors increasingly targeting grid control systems. QRNG-enhanced batteries will generate cryptographic keys with genuine quantum randomness, ensuring uncompromised entropy and eliminating entire classes of remote-exploitation attacks, even in a post-quantum environment.
