FlexGen, one of the hottest new providers of distributed energy storage solutions recently made a splash. They have taken ownership of Powin’s intellectual property, which significantly enhances their arsenal in the energy sector. FlexGen completed a tactical acquisition in August 2025. This decision gives them the confidence to finally take ownership of Powin’s market-leading intellectual property portfolio, including hardware and software IP, information technology systems and an extensive inventory of spare parts.
This acquisition furthers FlexGen’s ability to help its customers manage more than 25 gigawatt hours (GWh) of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). This remarkable capacity extends to 200 projects in ten countries. This expansion significantly increases FlexGen’s operational capacity. Beyond that, it’s an important signal of the company’s commitment to delivering dependable, cost-saving energy innovations in a dynamic global marketplace.
Strategic Partnership with Trina Storage
In April 2025, FlexGen entered into a significant partnership with Trina Storage to implement a 371 megawatt hours BESS in Houston, Texas. This partnership is a first-of-its-kind for the industry, and exemplifies both companies’ commitment to continue developing and deploying cutting-edge sustainable energy technologies.
FlexGen’s CEO, Kelcy Pegler, emphasized the importance of this partnership, stating, “With this acquisition, we will continue to deliver the reliability and intelligence the grid, data centres and communities need to thrive in a world of growing energy needs.” The joint development with Trina Storage will help create stronger energy resilience and efficiency for more customers.
