ABU DHABI, UAE, March 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Building on the successful completion of a transformative proof-of-concept phase, AIQ – a Presight company – announces a landmark $340 million contract with ADNOC to deploy ENERGYai and associated AI solutions across ADNOC’s upstream value chain. The three-year contract will see ENERGYai and a suite of related AI solutions rolled out across ADNOC’s upstream operations, driving optimization and efficiency.

Built on 70 years of proprietary data and knowledge, ENERGYai combines large language model (LLM) technology with cutting-edge agentic AI, which is trained for specific workflows across ADNOC’s upstream value chain. ENERGYai brings a new level of efficiency and precision to critical tasks, from seismic analysis to geological modeling and real-time process monitoring, reducing time for essential business processes from months to days, minimizing cost, and emissions in the process.

Musabbeh Al Kaabi, ADNOC Upstream CEO, said: “ADNOC is on a mission to become the world’s most AI-enabled energy company, maximizing the potential of AI to drive efficiency and value creation across our operations. We look forward to working with AIQ to scale ENERGYai across the upstream business, consolidating our position as a responsible and reliable supplier of energy to global markets, delivering the energy system of the future.”

ENERGYai will use large language models to enable engineers to “talk” to ADNOC’s proprietary data, maximizing individual productivity, delivering new insights and opportunities.

Magzhan Kenesbai, Acting Managing Director, AIQ said: “This contract marks a defining moment for AIQ. In partnership with ADNOC, we have developed a world-first agentic AI solution that is scalable across the entire energy value chain and has the potential to transform the industry as we know it. We are proud to see ENERGYai move from a successful proof-of-concept to full deployment, enabling ADNOC to unlock unparalleled efficiencies, reduce carbon intensity, and advance their sustainability ambitions. This achievement reflects our commitment to delivering innovative, high-impact AI solutions that not only meet the challenges of today but also shape the future of energy.”

Developed by AIQ with ADNOC experts, in collaboration with G42 and Microsoft, ENERGYai will integrate best-in-class technologies, including Azure cloud stack, agentic AI platform functionality, Open Subsurface Data Universe framework (OSDU), and OpenAI models.

Thomas Pramotedham, CEO of Presight, said, “We congratulate AIQ on signing this landmark agreement with ADNOC. As the major shareholder of AIQ, we are incredibly proud to see this partnership come to life, and we remain committed to supporting AIQ’s growth as it continues to drive innovation and create lasting value for the energy industry and our shareholders. Agentic AI is widely recognized by experts as the future of AI development and integration. Here in the UAE, through Presight’s collaboration with AIQ and ADNOC, we are not just predicting the future, we are creating it with applied intelligence today. ENERGYai is a world-leading solution that will set the benchmark for innovation and excellence in agentic AI.”

The first operational, scalable version of ENERGYai is expected to be completed in mid-2025. This version will include five fully operational AI agents covering tasks within subsurface operations and will be test-deployed across several upstream assets, with plans to scale its application to thousands of additional wells. Over the three-year contract term, AIQ will complete the roll out of ENERGYai to all ADNOC’s upstream assets, comprising more than 28 producing fields, including some of the world’s largest and least carbon intensive oilfields.

FranklinWH Introduces Enhanced 15 kWh aPower in Australia and New Zealand

Published

May 3, 2026

Expansion comes as policy shifts and rising power costs accelerate demand for residential energy storage

SYDNEY, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — FranklinWH, a leading provider of whole-home energy management and battery storage solutions, today announced the launch of its enhanced 15 kWh aPower battery in Australia and New Zealand, as demand for residential energy storage continues to grow, driven by evolving policy settings and increasing interest in energy independence.

The updated aPower builds on the company’s established platform, increasing usable capacity from 13.6 kWh to 15 kWh and raising warrantied throughput from 43 MWh to 60 MWh, an increase of 40 percent. These updates deliver more usable energy over the life of the system while maintaining the same footprint and price.

“The energy landscape is shifting quickly, and more homeowners are thinking beyond the upfront specs to what really pays off over time,” said Steve Ruskin, General Manager of FranklinWH Australia. “This upgrade is about delivering more performance over the life of the system, more usable energy, greater throughput, while staying true to our ‘buy once, buy right’ philosophy.”

The increase in warrantied throughput translates into savings for homeowners. Based on typical usage patterns and an electricity rate of A$0.35 per kilowatt-hour, the additional throughput may represent up to approximately A$5,950 in value over the lifetime of the system. The increase in usable capacity also improves energy density, lowering the effective cost per kilowatt-hour and supporting more efficient use of stored energy.

The 15 kWh configuration also aligns with current and upcoming policy frameworks benefitting residential battery adoption. This includes the updated Cheaper Home Batteries Program, with changes coming into effect for Australian homeowners from 1 May, 2026, helping households maximise value as incentives continue to evolve.

As the residential battery market expands, FranklinWH continues to focus on reliability and system performance. The aPower incorporates design elements to support durability, including structural reinforcement to reduce cell stress over time, per-cell temperature monitoring, and the separation of the battery pack and control systems to maintain reliable performance.

“We believe performance should be measured over years, not just at installation,” Ruskin added. “We focus on building systems that deliver consistent, reliable results over time. That long-term perspective is what ultimately defines value for homeowners.”

The aPower is designed to operate as part of the FranklinWH System, an integrated home energy management platform that coordinates energy generation, storage, and consumption. The system is designed to optimise multiple energy inputs, provide reliable backup power, and support more efficient and independent energy use at the household level.

FranklinWH is a market-oriented, research-driven company focused on next-generation residential energy management and storage solutions. Located in Macquarie Park, Sydney with a global head office in the San Francisco Bay Area, FranklinWH’s team has decades of experience in energy systems, from design, through manufacturing, to sales and installation.
