Aegis Critical Energy Defence ( (TSE:QESS) ) has provided an announcement.
Aegis Critical Energy Defence is advancing its nuclear‑hybrid energy strategy for Arctic and defence applications by partnering with Ontario Tech University on a Digital Twin‑enabled control framework for SMR/MMR‑based microgrids. The program, which builds on the firm’s earlier Power Barge work in Vancouver and Victoria, aims to deliver resilient, distributed power for northern communities, marine infrastructure and NORAD‑linked radar, sensor and forward operating sites.
A central element is the planned deployment of floating SMR/MMR power platforms at strategic northern locations, supported by high C‑rate batteries, advanced power electronics and intelligent energy management systems designed for fast response and frequency stability. To execute this expanded mandate, the company has installed Dr. Ramtin Rasoulinezhad as chief executive officer and Simon Tso as chief financial officer, and has granted 1.55 million restricted share units to management and consultants tied to project milestones, underscoring a push toward commercialization within four years and a stronger role in continental energy security.
The leadership change brings in technical and financial expertise in secure, high‑reliability energy systems, capital markets and regulatory compliance, positioning Aegis to move technologies from R&D into full‑scale deployment. By aligning its SMR/MMR microgrid architecture with emerging continental defence requirements, the company is seeking to reinforce Canada’s northern energy independence and solidify its standing as a technology provider at the intersection of clean energy and national security.
