Aegis Critical Energy Defence Corp. Announces Fully Certified PWR Flex 261Q for U.S. Market Entry and Successful Deployment with Fortune 500 in Indiana

June 18, 2026

Aegis Critical Energy Defence (OTCQB:QESSF) announced full certification of its PWR-Flex 261Q battery energy storage system for U.S. and North American deployment, including NFPA 855 documentation.

The 261 kWh / 135 kW LFP BESS integrates quantum random number generation-based cybersecurity and has three systems installed for a Fortune 500 client in Indiana via partner GG Ventures.

Positive
• Full UL, CSA and NFPA-aligned certifications support PWR-Flex 261Q U.S. market entry
• Integrated quantum random number generation provides embedded quantum-secured cybersecurity
• Installed and commissioned three PWR-Flex 261Q systems for a Fortune 500 client in Indiana
• Certification and NFPA 855 documentation help sales channels move to revenue-generating projects
• Targeted for mission-critical sectors including utilities, defence, telecom and data centers

Fully certified, fire protection validated battery energy storage platform by Aurosi/SEETEL becomes the first fully integrated quantum random number generating - secured BESS now certified for the North American market.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 18, 2026) - Aegis Critical Energy Defence Corp. (CSE: QESS) (OTCQB: QESSF) (FSE: JG6) ("Aegis" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that our product the PWR-Flex 261Q battery energy storage system ("BESS"), in partnership with Aurosi Precision Co., Ltd. ("Aurosi") and SEETEL New Energy (Taiwan) (7740.TW) ("SEETEL"), has successfully completed another product safety standard program for entry into the U.S. marketplace, including fire safety evaluations and supporting NFPA 855 documentation required for deployment across North America.

The PWR-Flex 261Q is a fully integrated AC 261 kWh / 135 kW, liquid-cooled LFP (lithium iron phosphate) outdoor BESS with IP67 battery packs housed in an IP55 enclosure, inverter, chiller, and integrated aerosol fire-suppression and multi-detector safety system. The system has undergone a comprehensive, third-party certification and engineering validation process, including evaluations to UL 9540, UL 9540A, UL 1973, UL 1741 SB, CSA C22.2 No. 107.1, Functional Safety, NFPA 68 and NFPA 69, providing the technical foundation to meet NFPA 855 installation requirements across commercial, industrial and critical-infrastructure applications in North America.

In parallel with this certification milestone, Aegis is also pleased to confirm the successful installation and commissioning of three legacy systems by our partner GG Ventures of the Carolinas, LLC ("GG Ventures") for one of GG Ventures' Fortune 500 clients.

First Quantum-Secured BESS Now Certified
The PWR-Flex 261Q incorporates an embedded quantum-secured cybersecurity architecture, integrating hardware-based Quantum Random Number Generation (QRNG) Quantum eMotion Corp's., (NYSE American: QNC) (TSXV: QNC) (FSE: 34Q0) ("QNC") to provide true quantum-grade entropy for cryptographic keys and signing of commands, telemetry, and firmware updates. The PWR Flex 261Q is delivering one of only fully integrated commercial BESS platforms with built-in quantum-safe protection for data and control systems.

The system is designed for mission-critical and regulated environments including utilities, telecommunications, defence, mining, industrial facilities, remote communities, marine applications and AI/data-center infrastructure.

"This certification program is a turning point for Aegis," said Ramtin Rasoulinezhad, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Aegis Critical Energy Defence Corp. "With PWR-Flex 261Q, we now have a fully certified, fire-validated and quantum-secured BESS platform that can be sold into the U.S. market with the documentation and safety credentials that utilities, industrial operators and regulators demand."

"The NFPA 855 report and the full UL / CSA certification package remove a key barrier to entry and enable our sales channels to move from pilot discussions to revenue-generating projects across North America. At the same time, our first installation of three systems in Indiana with GG Ventures and a Fortune 500 client proves that blue-chip customers are already willing to adopt BESS into secure infrastructure. We see this as a powerful early reference for Aegis as the grid, defence, and data-center sectors begin to treat cyber-resilient power as non-optional," added Dr. Rasoulinezhad.

$QESSF 🗞️

This one may have some legs They got sawed off.

I got in at 0.30 late Oct. It's down, but not as much as many other Cdn small companies I've fallen for...And it looks to be slowly recovering. I ain't worried. When QNC gets moving, that will help, as well....

The last post on ceo.ca/qess:

@Bayman57Just look near the bottom, about 7 or 8 people picked the same 3 Q stocks, QNC, QESS, and QBTQ, all significantly down. We are due for a significant comeback I figure, and soon.

Couple more photonics stocks discussed here


Might be hard finding any bargains, as most all of these company's charts show....

Progressive news is better than silence. fingers crossed for some numbers

technicals are shaping up to support a good run - just need a good spark to get the next cycle started.

From my perspective, the recent momentum looks more credible now that the company is expanding market visibility and tying its BESS narrative to specific use-cases like critical infrastructure and data-center style demand, not just broad buzzwords.

I agree. This one may have some legs, at least short-term. I don't yet have a position, but if it drops a few more cents I'll pick some up.

THV

For sure I am not late to the game here, looking forward to more deals...

I was lucky to catch this one on CEO.CA BTQ board awhile back and took a small position then. Been averaging up all week now from the news and its implications.

Took a small starter today, plan on doubling down if it dips back a bit.

Making moves just gotta keep these coming and achieve UL!

Looks like the deal is going to close this month.

Here is the press release just announced recently, plus this Gunning individual has a lot of resources it seems. This should easily see 50 cents to dollar land after the acquisition, market cap should be between 150-200 million until they secure some locations for the charging stations. It also seems some exclusive contracts are in the works with already existing ones.

This will see dollar land fairly quick, severely undervalued vs peers like Evgo and Plug.
