DENVER, CO and PITTSBURGH, PA (August 24, 2026) – WATTMORE, Inc, a Colorado- based energy intelligence technology company and Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: EOSE) (Eos), America’s leading innovator in designing, manufacturing, and providing zinc- based long-duration energy storage (LDES) systems sourced and manufactured in the United States, today announced a non-exclusive strategic software and hardware collaboration agreement that combines WATTMORE's patented Intellect Operate EMS/PPC/SCADA platform with Eos’ Z3 long-duration energy storage systems.

As part of this agreement, Eos has committed to deploy WATTMORE’s Intellect Operate Energy Management System (EMS) and Power Plant Controller (PPC) for select customer projects and support integration of WATTMORE's EMS platform with Eos' DawnOSTM and Z3 technology. Designed, engineered, and operated by WATTMORE's Denver-based team, the platform combines FEOC- and BABA-compliant hardware with Intellect Operate software to provide a pre-integrated controls option for Eos customers. The collaboration expands the controls ecosystem around Eos’ Z3 systems, helping streamline deployment while supporting Eos' strategy of delivering more complete energy storage solutions around its technology.

“Energy storage systems depend on battery technology, controls, and software working together as a single operating environment,” said Jonathan W. Postal (JW), WATTMORE's Founder and CEO. “Our collaboration with Eos brings together complementary capabilities across those layers, creating a stronger foundation for customers.”

Eos and WATTMORE will integrate Intellect Operate with Eos’ DawnOS and Z3 systems. DawnOS provides battery-level monitoring, control, and optimization for Z3 systems, while WATTMORE's software manages system dispatch, energy optimization, and grid interaction. Completing integration upfront creates a repeatable model and simplified path from project design to deployment.

“Customers are looking for integrated solutions that reduce complexity and simplify deployment,” said Nathan Kroeker, Chief Commercial Officer of Eos. “Eos can interface with a range of energy management systems, and our work with WATTMORE adds another option for customers. As our pipeline continues to grow across utility, data center, microgrid, and other large-scale applications, this integration strengthens our ability to deliver complete energy storage solutions across a growing range of customer applications.”

WATTMORE and Eos have previously partnered on large-scale projects, including most recently a 3 MW/12 MWh energy storage project for the Nebraska utility Lincoln Electric System. The project combined Eos’ Z3 technology and WATTMORE’s controls platform to support grid reliability while establishing the approach and scalability of the integrated solution.

Texas recorded the largest absolute increase in both sectors, adding 37.5 million MWh of commercial and 64.8 million MWh of industrial sales.

Journyx’s latest study examines the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s state and sector-level electricity sales, tracking the 10-year change in commercial and industrial sales from 2015 to 2025, as well as preliminary 2026 data.

"As demand for AI data centers rapidly expands, electricity providers and utilities will be pushed to deliver increased capacity at a much faster pace,” said Curt Finch, founder of Journyx. “Mobilizing their field workforce to meet aggressive deadlines, while also tracking critical milestones for billing and work progress, requires accurate workforce planning, allocation, and tracking to ensure work gets billed and delivered on time."

Commercial Electricity Sales Grew in 30 States Over 10 Years
Electricity supplied to offices, stores, hospitals, schools, government buildings, data centers, and other service-providing customers

• North Dakota recorded the fastest percentage increase (+83% to 11.5 million)
• Virginia ranked second at 73%, the clearest connection between commercial sales growth and the data center boom.
• Oregon, Nebraska, Nevada, and Wyoming recorded increases of more than 40%.
• Together, Texas and Virginia accounted for 44.6% of all state-level commercial sales growth.
• D.C. recorded the steepest percentage decline at 12.2%. Connecticut and Hawaii followed with declines of 11.4% and 11.3%.
• New York had the largest absolute decrease, with annual commercial sales falling by 5.1 million MWh.

Industrial Electricity Sales Declined in Most States Over 10 Years
Power supplied to facilities involved in producing, processing, or assembling goods, including factories, manufacturing plants, refineries, mines, and other goods-producing operations

• New Mexico recorded the fastest percentage increase (+99% to 15.1 million MWh). North Dakota followed at 95.8%.
• Texas ranked third by percentage, with growth of 58.8%. Its much larger starting point, however, made it the leader in absolute growth: The state accounted for more than half of industrial growth.
• Washington recorded the largest percentage decline in industrial electricity sales (32% decrease to 8.5 million MWh).

Most current, preliminary data? Commercial electricity sales across the 50 states and D.C. were 3.3% higher from January through April 2026 than during the same four months of 2025. Explore the full analysis here.

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Convey, the engagement operating system for utilities and regulated industries, today announced it has acquired Selectron, a provider of citizen engagement, field operations, inspection management and payment solutions serving utilities, state and local governments, municipalities, cooperatives and public safety organizations nationwide.

The acquisition brings together two companies with complementary strengths. Convey is the omnichannel communications and engagement operating system purpose-built for utilities and regulated industries, while Selectron provides trusted solutions for citizen engagement, electronic bill presentment and payments, inspections and field operations.

Together, the combined company offers a broader portfolio of solutions that helps utilities and state and local government organizations strengthen engagement across the entire customer and citizen journey, from proactive communications and self-service to bill presentment, processing payments, field operations, and inspections, while improving operational efficiency and delivering better service to the communities they serve.

"This acquisition is about bringing together two companies with complementary strengths to create something greater for our customers," said Maulik Datanwala, Chief Executive Officer of Convey. "Selectron expands our capabilities with electronic bill presentment, PCI-certified payments, inspection and field workforce management, and deep expertise serving state and local government organizations. Combined with Convey's engagement operating system and AI orchestration, we can now deliver a broader platform that helps organizations improve every stage of the customer and citizen journey."

The combined portfolio enables organizations to:

• Offer electronic bill presentment, PCI-certified payment processing and collections capabilities
• Manage inspections, permitting and field operations through mobile applications
• Improve scheduling, inspection routing and citizen visibility throughout service requests

Selectron's Atlas platform provides mobile inspection and field management capabilities supporting building inspections, zoning inspections and other community services. The platform enables inspectors to manage inspections in the field, record pass or fail outcomes, automate reinspection workflows, capture field activity through mobile devices, and keep citizens informed throughout the inspection process. Combined with Convey's engagement capabilities, organizations can provide proactive notifications, status updates, and payment options that create a more connected customer experience.

The acquisition creates significant opportunities to expand both companies' existing customer relationships. Convey customers gain access to integrated payment capabilities and field operations technology, while Selectron customers benefit from Convey's omnichannel communications, engagement operating system and AI journey orchestration.

"Selectron has built trusted relationships with utilities and government agencies over many years by helping them better serve the people who rely on them," said Todd Johnston, President of Selectron. "Joining Convey allows us to continue serving those customers while delivering a much broader set of engagement, communication and workflow capabilities. Just as importantly, our cultures are closely aligned around customer success, innovation, and long-term growth."

This acquisition marks an important milestone in Convey's continued growth and reinforces the company's commitment to helping utilities, state and local government organizations modernize customer and citizen engagement.
