From the Book of Julian the 3rdItochu's plan is to develope partner associations with companies that have technologies to build VPP stations globally.
Companies still in the fold that will lead to this goal
Freyr Battery......... looking for $$$$ IRA funds grants and or tax incentives to build MEGA PLANT GEORGIA
24M ...... battery technologies supports Freyr
Eguana Battery Management Systems / Edge Control Systems
All of these need to work together to build that infamous moat that everyone is looking for.
Itochu is the pot of glue holding everything together
Duracell et al is the retail marketing arm /production for ESS / VPP hardware GLOBALLY
Eguana holds the license to the battery systems, patents and technologies.
