We're excited to share Waterford School's groundbreaking energy storage installation. Waterford School's new Murray Science Center, completed in August 2023, represents an impressive integration of sustainable infrastructure, STEM education, and grid innovation. We believe it's the first commercially approved flywheel energy storage system at a school in the country. What our Torus system brings: • Hybrid flywheel/battery energy storage installed directly adjacent to the physics lab • Real-time harmonic smoothing for the geothermal variable frequency drive (VFD) system • Grid-event participation capability where students learn about the energy that powers our world With the real world as the curriculum, Waterford students are going to do amazing things shaping our energy future.

Torus is proud to invest in Ultion Technologies, a U.S.-based manufacturer of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cells and energy storage platforms. Ultion’s technology will strengthen our hybrid systems by pairing long-duration, domestic batteries with the high-speed performance of our flywheel storage. This partnership allows us to scale faster, meet growing demand, and deliver higher reliability for utilities, defense, commercial, and industrial customers. 🔗 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/genfSABV #TorusEnergy #EnergyStorage #CleanTech #GridModernization #MadeInAmerica #SupplyChainResilience #UltionTech

Summer heat is putting the grid to the test. Across the U.S., rising temperatures are pushing demand to seasonal highs—and exposing the limits of traditional infrastructure. At Torus, we’re helping utilities and cities respond in real time with modular microgrids and smarter energy storage. Because keeping the power on isn’t optional. It’s essential.

Independence Day is a moment to reflect on the values that define us — resilience, self-determination, and the power of local communities. At Torus, we see those same values reflected in the way people are rethinking energy. Not just as a utility, but as a foundation for independence. When communities generate and manage their own power, they gain more than electricity. They gain choice. They gain resilience. They gain freedom. This July 4, we’re celebrating the spirit of independence in all its forms. #IndependenceDay #EnergyIndependence #CommunityResilience #TorusEnergy #CleanEnergy

Big changes are ahead for U.S. energy policy. The latest version of the bill in congress includes major updates that affect how and where energy storage systems are made. Now more than ever, U.S.-made matters. #EnergyStorage #TorusSpin #USManufacturing #CleanEnergy #PolicyUpdate

🎉 Torus just reached 100 team members—and we’re just getting started. Four years ago, we were building prototypes in a workshop in Springville, Utah. Today, our technology powers clean energy systems across the country and supports real-world grid resilience for partners like Rocky Mountain Power. We’ve built flywheels that made TIME’s Best Inventions list. We’ve scaled operations, hired incredible talent, and proved that American-made energy systems can lead the way. Here’s to the next 100 people who will help us shape the future of power. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gaX5qKuK #Torus100 #CleanTech #EnergyStorage #GridModernization #UtahJobs

One of the greatest risks, cyber or otherwise, to the United States is an attack on our grid system. Nate Walkingshaw, CEO of Torus, pointed out below as well as Justin Ling of WIRED recently penned and Andy Greenburg also of WIRED discusses in his book, "Sandworm", in the embedded video. In particular, our nation is incredibly vulnerable and unprepared for an attack at the subtransmission layer. In its 2023 report titled "Cybersecurity High-Risk Series: Challenges in Protecting Cyber Critical Infrastructure", the GAO warned that "The U.S. grid’s distribution systems—which carry electricity from transmission systems to consumers and are regulated primarily by states—are increasingly at risk from cyberattacks. Distribution systems are growing more vulnerable, in part because of industrial control systems’ increasing connectivity. As a result, threat actors can use multiple techniques to access those systems and potentially disrupt operations." SCADA systems are aging and patches are not perfectly managed, particularly in underresourced small and rural utilities. Further, as Nate indicates, the connection points of Distributed Energy Resources ("DERs") and the utilities create new attack surfaces. While we race to bring on generation capacity, security must be an immediate consideration. https://lnkd.in/emd76zpF
America’s Energy Transition has a hardware problem, millions of DERs are hitting the grid with hidden communications modules—often undocumented, un-patchable, and outside utility control. In this shared link I wrote an article to help explain the complexity and best practices here: https://lnkd.in/gd_YCJBr Why it matters to you and us.... At Torus, our team has spent years preparing for this. Torus Nova Shield™ is our hardware appliance that audits, filters, and locks down DER comms at the edge.https://https://lnkd.in/gdh9V6gm Torus Overwatch™ is our software command center that monitors every asset in real-time with zero-trust principles and anomaly detection baked in. https://lnkd.in/gj9pQN4j Together, they make your DER fleet—new or already deployed—a secure, operator-controlled energy asset. If you’re a plant operator, utility, or asset owner worried about what’s already in the field, we can retrofit and harden your infrastructure today. The energy transition depends on trust and security. It’s time we build that in—not bolt it on later. Big shout out to our CISO Trenton Bond for building such a robust Cyber and Protection suite. 🙏 #DER #GridSecurity #NovaShield #TorusOverwatch #Cybersecurity #EnergyTransition #CriticalInfrastructure #VPP #SecureByDesign #CleanTech

#TorusTuesday | America’s clean energy future depends on more than generation—it hinges on resilience. As we highlighted in Utility Dive, foreign supply chains and aging distribution infrastructure are a growing risk to delivering electricity safely, securely, and reliably. At Torus, we’re building solutions to address these hidden vulnerabilities head-on: Torus Shield makes sure critical loads remain powered during outages and voltage events. Shield acts as a frontline defense for businesses, and communities—safeguarding assets with advanced cybersecurity, strong network architecture, and AI-powered anomaly detection. Torus Overwatch provides utilities with real-time, device-level visibility and grid-edge intelligence. It’s like going from static snapshots to a live, dynamic feed of grid health. Together, these tools make the grid smarter, more distributed, and better protected. Secure infrastructure isn’t optional—it’s foundational. We’re here to build what the future demands.

"Ghost" modules have been located in some Chinese-manufactured solar inverters, many of which are deployed across the U.S.—yet most remain unverified and unpatched. Our CEO, Nate Walkingshaw warns, “we're deploying millions of black boxes” that risk grid security. 🔒 It's time for zero-trust cybersecurity design, continuous supply-chain checks, and ongoing field inspections to secure our clean energy future.
