Tellus Power Launches Tellus Energy AI, a Vertical Large Model for Green AI Computing

  • New vertical AI model combines electricity-price intelligence, load forecasting, computing scheduling and V2G resources to help lower power costs and unlock flexible grid capacity

IRVINE, Calif., July 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tellus Power Global Holding Limited (“Tellus Power” or the “Company”), a deep technology company building bi-directional energy transfer systems to power the physical AI economy, today announced Tellus Energy AI, a purpose-built (“vertical”) AI model for the energy and computing sectors. The model is designed to coordinate energy and compute in multiple directions, matching AI compute workloads to real-time power availability and price, while turning distributed charging and storage assets into grid-responsive resources. Tellus Power believes it is among the first providers to bring multiple-way energy-compute scheduling to market in a single professional model.

Tellus Energy AI provides five core capabilities:

  • Real-time price tracking – ingests and analyzes wholesale electricity prices in near real time to support power-trading decisions.
  • Power-load forecasting – multi-dimensional load prediction to inform energy dispatch, consumption and trading decisions.
  • Energy decision supportrecommends actions based on live prices and load to help customers reduce electricity costs.
  • Grid coordination, energy arbitrage and value-added services – responds to grid signals for resilience, peak demand and other ancillary-service signals, converting idle charging capacity into additional revenue.
  • Open agent platform – customers can build custom AI agents on TPResearch, Tellus Power’s agent framework, via its published APIs.
    The Tellus Power Mission Control platform

    73

The Tellus Power Mission Control platform – fleet health, uptime and live diagnostics at a glance (representative view).

Alongside the model, Tellus Power is building an integrated energy-AI computing capability on four foundations including a vehicle-to-grid (V2G) based virtual power plant, a wide-area charging network, liquid-cooled high-density compute clusters, and an advanced EMS (energy-management platform).

Together these support four applied models – compute-power coordinated dispatch, V2G site operation, power-trading decisioning, and green-compute traceability, intended to address high energy costs, grid constraints, bring in capacity for micro data centers, green-power certification and low asset utilization.

In early deployments, Tellus Power is targeting electricity-cost reductions of 20%-40% vs. unoptimized operation, data-center PUE below 1.1 and additional ancillary-service revenue of up to 40%, with full green-power traceability to support ESG reporting.

Tellus Energy AI forecast

Tellus Power is opening three commercial offerings, Energy Intelligence Agent, private deployment and an EMS smart toolkit, to AI operators, data centers and new-energy operators for partnership and integration along with its state-of-the-art infrastructure.

Tellus Energy AI

Tellus Energy AI, reachable on any channel – operators query the fleet in plain language from tablet or phone.

Over the next three to five years, Tellus Power aims to build a distributed green-compute network exceeding 1 GW, developing an integrated “energy + compute + AI” offering as a second growth curve and contributing to a low-carbon compute infrastructure ecosystem.

“The race for all types of AI including generative, inference and physical AI is really a race for immediate energy. The compute exists, but the power to run it affordably and cleanly is the real constraint on AI’s growth. We built Tellus Energy AI to help lift that constraint, turning energy from AI’s largest cost and time resource into a source of efficiency, resilience and immediate availability,” said Mike Calise, Chief Executive Officer of Tellus Power.

About Tellus Power
Tellus Power is a deep technology company building bi-directional energy transfer systems to power the physical AI economy. Our products unify fleet and passenger vehicle charging, battery storage, and vehicle-to-grid capabilities. This infrastructure enables two-way control of high flow-rate electrons through a grid-edge energy system. Deployed globally, Tellus Power is enabling the convergence of electrification, robotics, autonomy, and distributed energy resources.

CSL Marks the Completion of the First Vessel in World-Leading Transhipment Fleet for Simandou Project

MONTREAL, July 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The CSL Group (“CSL”), a global leader in responsible marine transportation services, announces the delivery of MV Wontanara, the first of five state-of-the-art transhipment shuttle vessels (TSVs) commissioned to service the Simandou iron ore project in Guinea, one of the world’s largest mining and infrastructure developments.

CSL Celebrates Delivery of MV Wontanara, the First of Five Purpose-Built TSVs for the Simandou Project
MV Wontanara Delivery 2026

The delivery of MV Wontanara marks the first of five purpose-built TSVs designed and engineered by CSL for the Simandou project. Together, the vessels will form the world’s fastest and most efficient transshipment fleet.

Designed by CSL and built at CSSC Chengxi Shipyard, this groundbreaking fleet of TSVs combines a 41,800-tonne deadweight capacity with a dual-boom self-unloading system that can transfer up to 12,000 tonnes of iron ore per hour, making it the fastest and most efficient TSV fleet in the world.

Purpose-built to move large volumes of iron ore efficiently between river terminals and offshore bulk carriers, the TSV design features a shallow-draft hull optimized for river navigation, five azimuth thrusters that deliver exceptional manoeuvrability and precision, and bi-directional navigation capability that enhances both safety and operational efficiency.

“The advanced design and cargo-handling capabilities of this fleet reflect CSL’s expertise in transforming complex logistics challenges into practical, high-performance maritime solutions,” said Louis Martel, CSL President and CEO. “Working closely with our customer, we designed an integrated transhipment system that enables safe, efficient and continuous high-volume exports in shallow-water environments.”

CSL led the development of this transhipment solution from concept design through to engineering, construction and delivery. Leveraging its strong track record in self-unloading vessel design and transhipment operations, CSL established the fleet’s technical requirements, led the engineering and design phases, and provided oversight throughout construction.

MV Wontanara is the first of five TSVs that will enter service in support of the Simandou project, with the balance of the fleet scheduled for delivery over the coming months.

The CSL Group is a world class provider of complex marine solutions and the largest owner and operator of self-unloading ships in the world. Headquartered in Montreal with operations throughout the Americas, Australia, Europe and Africa, CSL delivers millions of tonnes of cargo annually for customers in the construction, steel, energy and agri-food sectors.
