Canadian battery manufacturer Electrovaya has introduced a stationary energy storage platform designed to respond to the rapid power swings created by AI computing and other mission-critical workloads.
The ElvaPulse 1500 packages up to 2.88 megawatt-hours of nominal energy capacity in a modular 20-foot container. Electrovaya says the system can be configured to provide approximately seven megawatts of continuous power, with peak output of up to 10 megawatts listed in its technical specifications.
That combination gives the product a different operating profile from battery systems designed primarily for multi-hour energy shifting. At full rated output, the ElvaPulse 1500 can discharge its stored energy in less than 30 minutes. Electrovaya is positioning the platform for applications that need a large amount of power very quickly rather than a lower output sustained over several hours.
AI data centres are a central target market. Dense GPU clusters can create sudden changes in electrical demand as computing jobs start, stop or move between systems. Those fluctuations can complicate facility power design, particularly when a site also relies on on-site generation, constrained grid service or renewable energy.
A high-power battery can act as a buffer between the computing load and the rest of the electrical system. Potential uses include smoothing short demand spikes, supporting microgrid operation, reducing peak grid draw and bridging the transition to backup generation. The same system is also being marketed for industrial power management and renewable-energy firming.
ElvaPulse 1500 is the first product in Electrovaya’s new stationary storage portfolio. It uses the ceramic separator design behind the company’s Infinity Battery Technology, which Electrovaya says has been deployed in more than 30,000 industrial battery systems.
The company is currently pursuing UL 1973 and UL 9540 certification, with completion targeted for the first quarter of 2027. Initial commercial deliveries are planned for the second quarter of 2027 from Electrovaya’s manufacturing facility in Jamestown, New York.
Electrovaya says it is already in discussions with hyperscale operators and energy developers and is accepting production reservations. Those statements describe an early commercial pipeline; the company has not announced a named data centre customer for the product.
The launch reflects a broader change in data centre energy storage. Batteries have traditionally been associated with backup power and uninterruptible power supply systems. As AI raises rack density and makes power demand more dynamic, operators are also evaluating batteries as an active part of normal facility and microgrid operations.
Whether that use case scales will depend on certification, project economics and integration with site-level controls. Electrovaya’s high power-to-energy design is a notable Canadian entry into that emerging market, with its first deployments expected next year.
