What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Track; not yet

Why
Kinergy is a genuinely proven platform in Australia (Origin Loop, 329k+ devices, 1,385 MW connected), but the named U.S. instantiation is a pre-launch announcement with no live U.S. operating data; the real signal arrives only after the 2026 ERCOT rollout. Readiness nudged to 68 because the U.S. announcement is even thinner on specifics than first assumed.
Next
Re-check Q1-Q2 2026 for the actual Rhythm Texas launch: confirm enrolled-battery count, ERCOT market product (e.g., ECRS/ancillary), supported battery brands, and per-customer economics vs. the Australian $300-600/yr benchmark
