At Peak Power, we’re making it profitable to pursue net zero

Peak Power enables C&I companies to reduce costs while pursuing net zero goals by working with financiers to provide a no-cost battery energy storage solution that covers deployment, operation, and maintenance. We also help distributed energy resource asset owners optimize their assets through our Peak Synergy software.

Peak Synergy is our energy efficiency software platform. It analyzes grid conditions in real-time and sends notifications for high demand hours. The platform also looks at how dirty the grid is at any moment. If a building has batteries and EVs chargers onsite, Peak Synergy manages their usage to meet sustainability goals and participate in complicated energy market programs.

At the end of the day, this means cleaner, more reliable, and more affordable electricity for everyone. We’re powering the clean energy revolution.

The Opportunity

At Peak Power, we’re transforming the way energy is generated, stored, and consumed. The Vice President, Project Development & Delivery will lead the strategic expansion, development, and delivery of Behind-the-Meter (BTM) Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects across Ontario, Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey. Reporting to the COO, this executive will oversee the end-to-end project lifecycle — from origination and development through construction, commissioning, and commercial operation — ensuring technical excellence, financial rigour, and timely delivery.

This work matters. Even a small change to optimize power utilization can significantly impact our customers, electrical grid, and environment. We're building something that will have a lasting, positive impact.
