1. Technology overview
Amplicity Pte. Ltd. is a Singapore company founded in 2025 by Stéphane Leyo and Gabriel Schiano. It targets energy-intensive industrial sites such as data centres, semiconductor and petrochemical facilities, where backup batteries are bought for resilience and otherwise sit idle.
Amplicity works as an edge-native control layer between an existing or newly added battery and the grid. Backup always has priority above a floor set by the customer, while the same battery cuts peak tariff charges and is dispatched into energy markets when the value is right. It is live in Singapore and Australia and uses a performance-based commercial model with no upfront capital.
2. Highlighted features & specifications
- Backup first: Backup protection takes priority within a floor set by the customer.
- Peak reduction: Dispatch cuts peak charges on the site tariff.
- Market revenue: Spare capacity bids into ancillary service and spot markets.
- Edge-native control: Dispatch decisions are made on-site without cloud dependence.
- Cell-level monitoring: Each cell in the battery rack is monitored in real time.
- Retrofit model: Existing UPS or backup batteries can be upgraded with no upfront capital.
3. Potential application
A data centre operator in Vietnam could cut peak demand charges using existing UPS batteries. An electronics or semiconductor factory could reduce tariff costs while keeping backup guaranteed. A petrochemical or manufacturing site could add batteries under a no-capex arrangement.
4. Benefits
No upfront capital is required, with fees tied to performance. Backup protection keeps priority within a floor the customer defines. Peak-charge reduction lowers the electricity bill. Spare battery capacity can earn revenue from ancillary services and wholesale markets. Control loops run on-site and do not depend on cloud connectivity.
5. Market trends & opportunities
Data centres and semiconductor plants in Southeast Asia are expanding quickly and face rising power costs and grid constraints. Regulators in Singapore are opening ancillary service markets to distributed resources, which creates a route for idle backup batteries to earn revenue.
6. Other information
Founded 2025, Singapore. Seed round of about US$1 million reported March 2026 with ENGIE Factory leading and continuing support. Other backers listed: Loyal VC, Pacific Channel, ZEBOX (CMA CGM), FACET and Swinburne University. Operates in Singapore and Australia.
