‘Power-hungry’ UK islands plug in to Moixa battery storage project

UK-based residential energy storage firm Moixa has begun installing on an archipelago off the Cornish coast in southwest England as part of a £10.8 million (US$14.1m) ‘smart energy’ project.

Hitachi Europe is leading the project, which Moixa said will be “a global test-bed”, electric vehicles and heating systems on islands that have no gas supply and rely heavily on imported fossil fuels and electricity.

Moixa Technology to use second life nickel metal hydride EV batteries for domestic storage pilot

UK domestic energy storage developer Moixa Technology is to use 'second life' Honda Civic nickel metal hydride batteries as part of a state-funded pilot.

In November 2013, Moixa was awarded funding for a £1.3m ($2.2m) project, which will see an aggregated 0.5MWh installed in 300 homes to demonstrate the provision of grid balancing services from domestic battery energy storage.
