Sparkz Signs 200 MWh Master Supply Agreement with Positive Electric Co. for U.S.-Made SparkzPod and SparkzQube BESS Systems

 

Sacramento, CA — November 20, 2025 — Sparkz, a U.S.-based battery development and fully vertically integrated manufacturing company accelerating the onshoring of America’s energy storage supply chain, today announced it has signed a 200 MWh Master Supply Agreement (MSA) with Positive Electric Co., a leading provider of industrial and commercial electrical and energy storage solutions. Under the agreement, Positive Electric will serve as a manufacturer’s representative and strategic deployment partner, supporting the distribution, installation, and commissioning of Sparkz’s SparkzPod™ (5.6 MWh) and SparkzQube™ (565 kWh) Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) across key commercial, industrial, and utility-scale markets in the United States.

 

The agreement marks a significant milestone in Sparkz’s growth as the company rapidly scales U.S.-made battery systems designed for grid resilience, peak-shaving, backup power, and renewable integration—while eliminating reliance on foreign suppliers and supply chains.

 

“Our partnership with Positive Electric demonstrates the growing demand for fully domestic, high-performance energy storage solutions,” said Sanjiv Malhotra, CEO of Sparkz. “The SparkzPod and SparkzQube are designed and assembled in the United States with our advanced LFP technology, providing customers with safe, reliable, and scalable BESS platforms. As the nation works to secure its energy infrastructure, U.S.-made battery systems are not just an economic advantage—they are a national security imperative. This 200 MWh commitment is not only a major customer milestone—it’s further validation that U.S. manufacturing can lead the global energy transition.”

 

Positive Electric will integrate Sparkz’s U.S.-made systems into a broad range of commercial and industrial applications, supporting customers seeking resilient, clean, and cost-effective power solutions.

 

“We are excited to bring Sparkz’s American-developed and made energy storage systems to our customers nationwide,” said Michael Gingerelli, President of Positive Electric Co. “Sparkz is delivering technology that combines safety, performance, and domestic manufacturing at a scale the market desperately needs. The SparkzPod and SparkzQube will be central to our solutions offering, and we look forward to a strong and growing partnership.”

 

The SparkzPod (5.6 MWh) is engineered for utility-scale and large C&I deployments, featuring a modular, high-density design and integrated controls. The SparkzQube (565 kWh) provides a compact, flexible BESS option optimized for commercial and industrial sites requiring reliable backup power, renewable integration, or peak demand reduction.

Founder & CEO

Dr. Sanjiv Malhotra

Dr. Sanjiv Malhotra is the founder and CEO of Sparkz—the battery start-up reinventing the energy supply chain.

 

Malhotra has been a leader in the energy sector for nearly three decades as a founder, investor and executive. Most recently, he served as the inaugural director for the Energy Investor Center at the U.S Department of Energy (DOE), serving under both Democratic and Republican administrations.

 

At DOE, Malhotra led the Obama Administration’s initiative to boost public-private partnerships to accelerate the commercialization of technologies developed in national research centers like Oak Ridge National Labs.

 

Malhotra was recruited to the Department of Energy after a successful exit of Oorja Protonics—the world leader in methanol fuel cells—which he founded and led as CEO for 10 years. Oorja raised $50 Million in equity financing from leading VCs such as Sequoia, DAG Ventures, Artis Capital and others during his tenure. He boosted Oorja’s revenue and profitability growth, while expanding operations globally in Japan, China, South Africa, Mexico, and India.

 

Oorja was acquired in 2014 by the Private Equity firm MinXing Growth Fund.

 

As an investor and consultant, Malhotra has worked at leading venture capital firms, including Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers as an advisor on clean energy and advanced materials.

 

Earlier in his career, Malhotra led the engineering and product development team at H Power, a pioneer in hydrogen fuel cells. As part of the management team, he managed the successful IPO, which raised more than $100 million in August 2000.

 

He began his career as a post-doctoral fellow at the renowned Lawrence Berkeley National Labs on electrochemical storage systems. Dr. Malhotra has authored seven patents and more than 40 publications in various fields of energy storage technology and materials. He holds a PhD in chemical engineering and an M.B.A from University of Iowa.
