Durham, N.C., March 3, 2021 – FlexGen, the largest independent energy storage technology company in the U.S., today announced new leadership with industry veterans Kelcy Pegler and Yann Brandt coming on as CEO and CFO. FlexGen designs and integrates energy storage solutions and the software platform that is enabling today’s energy transition.
“I’m thrilled to be joining FlexGen at such an important and exciting time. There are no more excuses or limitations to creating a more intelligent power grid. Energy storage is a critical part of today’s energy transition–and will create a cleaner and more resilient system,” said Kelcy Pegler, CEO of FlexGen.
“Energy storage is the next frontier in energy. We’ve seen the impacts that a lack of grid resiliency can have on consumers from Texas to California and the Northeast. Over the last decade, FlexGen has been on the leading edge of storage and I’m excited to be joining at such a critical time,” said Yann Brandt, CFO of FlexGen
