EV fleet and battery storage specialist company Zenobē of the UK said it will join forces with JERA Americas, the US subsidiary of Japanese power generation company JERA.
They have signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly develop utility-scale, grid-connected, stand-alone and hybrid battery storage projects in New York and New England in the US.
The two will look to identify other opportunities across the US.
Jera said they will include stand-alone storage and co-located with renewable energy sources to support the expansion of renewable energy deployment.
The two companies will conduct a study on the applicability of the large-scale battery business including JERA Americas’ facilities in these regions and other areas.
This marks Zenobē’s first move into the US, a step in its plans for global expansion.
JERA said New York state and New England are considered promising markets for the development of the battery business. Deployment targets have been set for the expansion of the battery market and the thermal power facilities owned by JERA Americas are connected to the electric power system in such regions.
