Modular, plug-and-play battery storage with military-grade cybersecurity built in -- replaces diesel generators.
NATO DIANA 2026 Cohort
Grengine builds modular, stackable battery energy storage systems (BESS) with integrated cybersecurity. Founded by Connie Stacey in Edmonton, Alberta. Their units are designed as direct diesel generator replacements -- same form factor, same connections, zero emissions.
Military-grade cybersecurity integrated at the firmware level (not bolted on). Canadian manufacturing = NATO-allied supply chain with zero Chinese dependency. True plug-and-play: one person can deploy a unit in under 30 minutes. Stackable/modular: scale from 15 kWh to multi-MWh without redesign. Diesel generator form factor compatibility -- swap diesel for battery in existing infrastructure.
Data centers are prime targets for cyberattacks -- including through their energy infrastructure. A compromised UPS or battery system is a vector for taking down compute. Grengine is the only BESS with cybersecurity designed in from the ground up. For edge deployments, their diesel-replacement form factor means no permitting battles over fuel storage.
Diesel fuel costs $0.30-0.50/kWh generated. Grid electricity at $0.08-0.15/kWh stored in Grengine = 50-70% fuel cost savings. Zero diesel maintenance costs ($5-15K/year per generator eliminated). Demand charge reduction: $5-20/kW/month savings. No fuel spill liability or environmental compliance costs.
TRL 7-8 -- Commercial units deployed. DIANA accelerator advancing cyber-secure dual-use capabilities.
Grengine builds modular, plug-and-play battery storage with military-grade cybersecurity -- the only BESS designed from the ground up for defense and critical infrastructure. Canadian-manufactured (NATO-allied supply chain). Replaces diesel generators with zero-emission, silent, hack-proof energy storage. One person deploys in 30 minutes. Scales from kW to MW. Selected for NATO DIANA 2026 cohort.
