Paris, France and Bambous, Mauritius – July 15th, 2026 – Qair, a leading independent renewable energy company, and PowerUp, a provider of cutting-edge battery analytics software solutions, today announced a new partnership agreement. The partnership follows a competitive benchmarking process conducted by Qair to identify the most suitable battery analytics solution for its asset management needs. Under the terms of the 3-year agreement, PowerUp’s Battery Insight® solution will be used by Qair’s asset management teams to optimize safety and performance monitoring across four battery storage assets currently under construction and to be managed by Qair in Mauritius.
“We are happy to partner with PowerUp to benefit from a best-in-class battery analytics solution, as we continuously look to create the highest environmental & financial value from our assets” said Olivier Gaering, Indian Ocean Regional Director at Qair. “The robustness of the algorithms and the rich set of features will enable critical, data-backed decision-making to maximize the value and lifetime of our assets under management.”
PowerUp’s Battery Insight® solution uses advanced algorithms to analyze field data from battery storage assets and optimize their performance and safety across a variety of use cases, including energy arbitrage, frequency regulation, and demand response.
Unlock asset value and reliability through performance optimization and safety monitoring
The agreement lays the groundwork for the deployment of PowerUp’s Battery Insight® solution on selected assets under Qair management, with PowerUp now selected as preferred provider of battery analytics solutions for Qair’s existing and future BESS assets.
The scope of the agreement covers a well-integrated software and service perimeter:
- PowerUp’s commissioning support service aims at expediting an essential and efficient verification phase of initial battery performance to ensure during the testing phase that all components function optimally within specified parameters. It will help Qair reach commercial service as quickly as possible;
- From a Software platform and feature standpoint: all Battery Insight® indicators related to performance, endurance, and safety are included in the scope. Performance indicators will support operator decision-making in maintenance scheduling, optimization of arbitrage strategies, and life cycle asset management. The predictive safety indicators will be a key addition, with an intelligent alerting system capable of detecting battery defects and preventing irreversible damage up to 12 months earlier than conventional monitoring approaches. Taking into account the specific use profile of each BESS, Battery Insight® solution integrates the specifics of each asset in the equation and its endurance features help prevent accelerated aging and prolong their useful lifetime accordingly.
“PowerUp and Qair both thrive on being innovative, performance-driven players supporting a clean energy transition that delivers measurable value” said PowerUp CEO Abdelkrim Benamar. “Our common values give meaning to our partnership, and we look forward to supporting Qair asset managers in their mission to optimize their battery and overall project performance.”
Four Qair assets in Mauritius have already been identified to spearhead the implementation of the partnership; a framework contract has been signed for this Stor’Sun scope, a 391 MWh overall capacity owned and operated by Qair, providing frequency management, balancing and other ancillary services to the Mauritius grid. This project is key for the country as it supports its ambition to reach a 60% share of renewable energy in its electricity mix by 2030, phasing out coal.
The partnership between Qair and PowerUp represents a significant step forward to further strengthen BESS asset management in Mauritius and worldwide. The integration of innovative battery analytics software and services in its toolset will help Qair maximize the value of their battery storage assets and support the transition to a clean energy future.
