Energy storage firm Torus Clean Energy pitches grid resiliency and EV support to Midvale
Summary
Torus Clean Energy presented a workshop to Midvale officials describing an energy storage system they say lowers rates, supports EV charging and bolsters grid resilience; company representatives said hardware is being installed at a local CHG parking structure and emphasized safety and compliance.
Torus Clean Energy representatives Spencer Hall, Brad Fortuna and Kelsey McFarland presented a 6:00 p.m. workshop to Midvale City Council members and staff describing the company’s energy storage and grid services offering.
The presenters said the technology can enable lower energy rates, integrate renewable energy, support electric-vehicle charging, provide backup power, reduce peak demand and strengthen Midvale’s role as an energy-innovation leader. They noted Torus is "installing hardware at the CHG parking structure in Midvale" and stressed that "safety and compliance is their top priority." The presentation closed with the company expressing interest in collaborating with Midvale on implementation steps and pilot opportunities.
City staff did not make a policy decision at the workshop. The session served as an informational briefing; council members and staff indicated interest in further conversations with company and technical review before any procurement or formal agreement.
