What we Do
Mission
Founded in 2019, Volta Technique is an energy storage and demand management company that helps solve the problem of the unpredictable and ever-increasing cost of energy for large commercial and industrial electricity users. Due to escalating climate concerns and rising energy costs, organizations are under pressure to develop ESG strategies that will lower their carbon footprint and environmental impact. Therefore, they must identify and deploy cost-effective systems that are capable of producing clean energy, increase energy efficiency and reliability. As such, large facilities are looking to reduce their dependence on the electrical grid by implementing reliable energy demand management systems which utilize energy production, and storage, and provide other operational capabilities (e.g. heating or cooling). Our proprietary energy storage solution helps solve the issue of managing electricity demand while adding flexibility, capacity, and reliability.
Our Story
Born out of years of graduate research at University of Waterloo, VOLTA creates innovative energy storage solutions. We store energy when there’s a surplus, and we keep it until you’re running low. We use Compressed Air Energy Storage to store surplus energy underground. Our storage solutions are chemical-free, low- maintenance, and we store three kinds of energy: electrical energy, thermal energy, and mechanical energy.
