From one million rooftops to a smarter, more resilient grid—how customer solar is powering the next era of clean energy

OAKLAND, Calif., June 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) today announced that it has surpassed 1 million customers with solar systems connected to its electric grid—more than any utility in the United States—marking a defining moment in the evolution of customer‑driven clean energy in California.

This milestone reflects decades of customer choice, policy leadership, and grid innovation as solar moved from an expensive niche technology to a cornerstone of California’s energy system. Customer solar adoption has evolved from limited activity in the 1990s, to steady growth in the 2000s, to rapid expansion in the 2010s, culminating in more than half a million new interconnections between 2020-2025 and more than 70,000 new solar installations annually over the past two years.

Across Northern and Central California, families, businesses, farmers, schools, and communities have chosen to harness the sun—lowering emissions, increasing energy resilience, and reshaping how electricity is produced and used. Together, PG&E’s solar customers represent one of the largest concentrations of customer sited, grid‑connected solar generation in the world, helping avoid millions of tons of greenhouse gas emissions over time.

“PG&E supports solar at every scale and has enabled more solar adoption than any utility in the country,” said Jason Glickman, Executive Vice President, Strategy and Growth, PG&E. “Reaching one million interconnections is ultimately a story about our customers—but it’s also a story about what comes next. The future of solar is not just about producing clean electricity. It’s about integrating solar and storage in ways that deliver value for all customers by strengthening the grid and improving resilience.”

Beyond Adoption: Building the Foundation for the Grid of the Future
The story of one million solar customers is not just about clean energy adoption and generation – it marks a shift toward a fully integrated, customer‑powered energy system that treats rooftop solar as core grid infrastructure.

As customer sited solar scaled rapidly, PG&E’s focus expanded beyond simply connecting these systems to also modernizing the grid for safe and reliable two-way power flows at an unprecedented scale. This includes investments in grid automation, advanced forecasting, streamlined interconnection, and the growing integration of solar paired with battery storage.

Together, these technologies are transforming millions of independent solar systems into a connected, responsive energy network—one that can flex with customer needs and grid conditions alike.

• PG&E helps customers understand and compare solar, battery storage, and other clean energy options through tools such as the Clean Energy Calculator, a personalized resource designed to help customers decide if and when these technologies are right for them: www.pge.com/cleanenergycalculator.

Virtual Power Plants: Solar That Shows Up When the Grid Needs It
That future is already taking shape through the expansion of virtual power plants (VPPs)—networks of customer‑owned solar and battery systems that can be dispatched in coordination to support the grid during periods of high demand or local constraints.

At the customer level, VPPs are built around efficiency, resilience, and choice. Solar power is used in the home first, batteries store energy for evening use and outages, and then VPP programs allow participating customers to share excess energy with the grid in ways that support reliability and reduce overall system strain.

In 2025, PG&E helped prove that aggregations of customer batteries can respond quickly and reliably to real‑world grid conditions—reinforcing the role customers can play as active participants in grid operations.

PG&E along with Sunrun, Tesla, San Diego Gas and Electric, Southern California Edison, and the California Energy Commission organized the largest coordinated demand response test in history: for two hours (from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. on July 29, 2025) the VPP delivered 535 megawatts of electricity to the grid. That’s enough to power hundreds of thousands of homes during peak demand.

The test proved that thousands of customer‑owned batteries can perform like a single, large power plant when the grid needs it most. Through programs like Demand Side Grid Support (DSGS) and the Emergency Load Reduction Program (ELRP), these aggregated batteries continue to be ready to show up at scale to support reliability during emergency grid conditions and periods of high demand.

PG&E and Sunrun also completed a successful hyper-local VPP deployment, dispatching energy from solar‑plus‑storage homes to provide targeted grid relief. The effort demonstrated how customer systems, when integrated intelligently, can operate like a clean, flexible power plant—helping reduce peak demand, improve reliability, and lower overall system costs.

“Working together, Sunrun and PG&E have built grid-support programs that allow California families—including middle- and lower-income households—to produce, store, and share their own energy with their communities,” said Paul Dickson, Sunrun President and Chief Revenue Officer. “We look forward to further collaborations with PG&E to put Sunrun’s flexible energy infrastructure to work for the benefit of all California residents.”

These efforts signal a broader industry shift: from a one‑way grid to an interactive system where customer energy resources are increasingly part of the solution.

Innovating Responsibly as New Solar plus Storage Technologies Emerge
PG&E is also preparing for the next wave of customer‑driven innovation–expanding access to solar while maintaining the safety and reliability Californians depend on.

Interest is growing in new forms of solar and storage—such as plug‑in systems—and legislatures and regulators are actively exploring how these technologies can expand access to clean energy, particularly for renters and underserved communities.

PG&E supports that innovation and believes every technology that connects to the grid must do so safely, transparently, and in coordination with established electrical standards.

Any device capable of exporting power—whether solar, storage, or another form of customer generation—must protect customers, neighbors, and the crews who work on the system every day.

Clear rules, modern codes, and thoughtful integration are essential to scaling the next generation of solar technologies without compromising safety or reliability.

“This is an exciting new clean energy milestone in California,” said Stephan Scherer, CEO and co-founder of Craftstrom. “PG&E is leading the way to integrate technologies like plug-in solar and storage to give California residents innovative new ways to harness the power of the sun and participate in the renewable energy markets.”

Scherer and Craftstrom participated in PG&E’s 2025 Pitch Fest where they presented their plug-in technologies to PG&E decision makers as a customer resilience solution. Craftstrom was one of 57 organizations invited to the 2025 Pitch Fest out of more than 400 applicants.  

A Balanced Path Forward
Surpassing one million solar interconnections underscores a broader transformation underway in California’s energy system:

The grid of the future will be more distributed, more digital, and more participatory—and customer‑owned solar, especially when paired with storage and connected through virtual power plants, will play a central role in delivering clean, reliable energy at scale.

Issued on behalf of Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. (CSE: QSE) (OTCQB: QSEGF) (FSE: VN80)

A wave of U.S. government investment is accelerating quantum computing — and with it, the urgency for organizations to protect data that must stay confidential for years or decades to come.

NEW YORK, June 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — USA News Group News Commentary – There is a quiet contradiction running through the most exciting technology story of the decade. The same breakthroughs that make quantum computing so promising — the ability to solve problems that would stall the most powerful classical machines — also threaten to unravel the encryption that protects nearly every sensitive digital record in existence. As governments rush to fund the race for quantum capability, a smaller field of companies — among them Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. (CSE: QSE) (OTCQB: QSEGF) (FSE: VN80) — is making a pointed argument: the more powerful these machines become, the more urgent it is to defend the data they could one day break.

That argument moved into sharper focus in late May, when Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. (CSE: QSE) (OTCQB: QSEGF) (FSE: VN80) — a post-quantum cybersecurity company focused on quantum-resilient data protection, identity security, secure storage and cryptographic migration readiness — weighed in on a major signal from Washington. The company commented on reports that the U.S. Department of Commerce had entered into nine letters of intent to provide approximately US$2 billion to support the U.S. quantum computing sector, an investment QSE framed as evidence that quantum has crossed from research curiosity into national technology strategy.

“Government investment at this scale sends a clear message: quantum computing is moving from research into national technology strategy,” said Ted Carefoot, Chief Executive Officer of QSE. “That progress is exciting, but it also accelerates the need for organizations to understand and address their post-quantum cybersecurity exposure. Sensitive data encrypted today may need to remain confidential for years or decades, which is why preparation cannot wait.”

The
“
Harvest Now, Decrypt Later
” Problem
Carefoot’s point about data that must remain confidential for years or decades gets at the heart of why post-quantum security is not a problem organizations can comfortably defer. Encrypted information that is intercepted today can be stored cheaply and indefinitely, waiting for the day a sufficiently capable quantum computer can unlock it. For records with long shelf lives — government files, financial data, healthcare records, critical-infrastructure systems and other long-lived sensitive information — the threat is not theoretical to the institutions responsible for protecting them. The clock on confidentiality starts the moment the data is created, not the moment quantum machines mature.

It is against that backdrop that the U.S. funding commitment reads as something more than an industrial-policy headline. Each dollar accelerating quantum capability is, in QSE’s framing, also a dollar shortening the runway organizations have to get their cryptographic houses in order. The company has argued that quantum investment and post-quantum readiness are, in Carefoot’s words, “two sides of the same transformation” — and that as governments accelerate one, enterprises must accelerate the other.

From Awareness to Action
What sets QSE’s recent messaging apart from the broader chorus of quantum commentary is that the company says it has already moved past the product-development stage and into commercial deployment. In a corporate update earlier in May, QSE described itself as operating a fully built, commercially available post-quantum cybersecurity platform — one designed to help organizations move, as the company puts it, from awareness to action.

The update carried specifics that are unusual for a company at this stage of a frontier market. QSE said it is generating revenue, currently serves 262 customer accounts, and is seeing growing pipeline activity across enterprise, government and regulated-industry channels. The company characterized this as a shift into a commercial scaling phase, following a period of product development, platform integration, certification milestones and strategic partner expansion.

“QSE is now operating from a position of commercial strength,” Carefoot said in that update. “Our product suite is fully built, our technology is in market, and our focus has shifted decisively toward scaling revenue, expanding customer relationships and converting a growing pipeline of enterprise and government opportunities. We believe the combination of regulatory urgency, market readiness and QSE’s differentiated platform creates a significant growth opportunity for the Company in 2026 and beyond.”

The platform itself is organized around three plain-language functions. The first, Assess, helps organizations understand where their data and encryption may be vulnerable to future quantum threats. The second, Protect, secures sensitive data using quantum-resilient encryption, secure storage and deployment tools designed to work alongside existing systems. The third, Control Access, governs who can reach sensitive systems and data through quantum-secure login and identity tools. Taken together, QSE says, those functions support customers across the full post-quantum security lifecycle — from initial assessment and planning through deployment, identity protection, secure storage and ongoing security infrastructure.

Crucially, the company emphasizes that its approach is designed to strengthen existing security infrastructure without requiring a disruptive rip-and-replace process. For large institutions with sprawling legacy systems, the prospect of swapping out cryptography wholesale is daunting enough to encourage paralysis; QSE’s pitch is that quantum resilience can be layered onto what organizations already run, lowering the barrier to getting started.

A Multi-Stream Commercial Model
Behind the three-function framework is a revenue model built to capture demand in more than one way. QSE has said its commercial model is generating recurring SaaS revenue while continuing to scale enterprise deployments, usage-based entropy and secure storage services, and on-premises hardware deployments for customers that require greater data autonomy and internal key control. That last category matters in sectors where institutions are unwilling — or, for regulatory reasons, unable — to hand control of their most sensitive keys to an outside cloud.

The company is also pursuing a partner-led expansion strategy, working through value-added distributors, resellers, system integrators and regional partners with established access to enterprise, government and regulated-industry customers. Management has said it believes this channel approach can accelerate market penetration, expand geographic reach and help convert pipeline opportunities into long-term customer relationships — a route that lets a relatively young company extend its reach without building out a massive direct sales force first.

Deepening the Bench
Scaling a frontier-technology company is as much about people as product, and QSE moved on that front in late May with the appointment of Michael Massing as Chief Technology Officer, effective June 1, 2026. Massing brings more than 30 years of experience across cybersecurity, cryptography, secure data management, artificial intelligence, blockchain, network architecture and advanced computing systems — a breadth that maps closely onto the technical demands of a post-quantum platform.

His résumé reads like a tour through the modern security industry. Massing previously served as CTO and VP of Engineering at TokenX Labs and LifeSite Inc., where he led the development of zero-knowledge authentication and secure digital asset management systems. He also served as Executive Director of Engineering at Dell SonicWall, where he managed the Unified Threat Management business unit and helped scale enterprise cybersecurity product lines to approximately US$400 million in annual sales. Earlier, he founded SecureCom Networks, later acquired by SonicWall, and Mass Technology Inc., providing technical solutions to organizations including Cisco, Sophos and NASA — with work on advanced computing systems and real-time operating systems supporting NASA’s SETI initiatives. He holds eight issued patents in cryptography, networking and cybersecurity, and earned a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Santa Clara University.

“Michael’s appointment is an important step in QSE’s next phase of growth,” Carefoot said. “He brings deep cryptography expertise, enterprise cybersecurity experience and a proven record of building technologies that can scale into large commercial markets. As demand for post-quantum security accelerates, his leadership will be valuable as we continue expanding our platform, supporting customer deployments and pursuing larger commercial opportunities.”

The appointment comes as QSE continues expanding its enterprise post-quantum security platform, including its QPA migration readiness system, qREK entropy infrastructure, QAuth identity platform, and decentralized encrypted storage architecture — the named building blocks that sit beneath the Assess, Protect and Control Access functions the company markets to customers.

A Crowded, Fast-Moving Field
QSE is not alone in racing to meet the post-quantum moment, and the breadth of the field underscores how seriously markets are taking the threat. On the cryptography-hardware side, SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) builds quantum-resistant semiconductors and public-key-infrastructure trust services, positioning itself as a pure-play in quantum-safe chips for connected-device, identity and IoT markets. On the software side, Arqit Quantum Inc. (NASDAQ: ARQQ) has pioneered a symmetric-key agreement platform designed to keep networked devices and data at rest secure against both conventional and quantum-enabled attacks, and has been expanding into telecom and enterprise channels through partnerships.

The urgency these security firms describe is, of course, driven by the progress of the quantum-computing builders themselves. IonQ, Inc. (NYSE: IONQ) remains the bellwether among publicly traded quantum-hardware companies, developing trapped-ion processors and quantum-networking systems — the very class of machines whose maturation defines the timeline security vendors are racing against. And at the enterprise level, established cybersecurity giants such as Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: PANW) frame quantum readiness as an emerging extension of the broader security mandate they already serve, a signal that post-quantum protection is migrating from niche concern toward mainstream enterprise requirement.

Within that landscape, QSE’s pitch is one of practicality and timing: a fully built platform, already in market, that layers quantum resilience onto existing systems. Readers can review the company’s positioning in more detail on its USA News Group profile page.

Why It Matters Now
QSE’s read on its own market is that post-quantum cybersecurity is quickly becoming a board-level, compliance-level and national-security priority. The company points to a convergence of forces — regulatory pressure, cryptographic migration requirements and enterprise demand — that it believes positions it to capitalize on the accelerating global transition toward post-quantum security infrastructure. Governments, regulators and large enterprises, the company argues, are no longer treating post-quantum security as a future consideration; they are beginning to demand concrete action, including cryptographic inventories, preparedness assessments, migration roadmaps and the implementation of quantum-resilient controls.

“Post-quantum cybersecurity is quickly becoming a board-level, compliance-level and national-security priority,” Carefoot said. “With a solid client-base and revenue generation established, a fully built platform in market and a growing pipeline of enterprise and government opportunities, QSE is now focused on scaling aggressively across the sectors where quantum-resilient security is becoming mission-critical.”

The story Washington is telling with its US$2 billion in letters of intent is, on its surface, a story about building quantum machines. QSE’s contribution to the conversation is to flip the lens: every advance toward that capability is also a countdown for the data that quantum could one day expose. Whether the company’s 262 customer accounts and multi-stream model prove to be an early foothold in a vast market or simply an early chapter, its central premise is hard to dismiss — that in the quantum era, building the machine and defending against it are not separate races, but the same one.
