Fossil fuel giant Shell has acquired 100% of German battery storage firm Sonnen for an undisclosed sum.
The move comes less than a year after Sonnen raised €60 million (US$70.5m) in a financing round led by Shell.
Shell said the deal, which is subject to various regulatory approvals, aimed to “accelerate the building of a customer-focused energy system in support of Shell’s strategy to offer more and cleaner energy solutions to customers”.
