Zenobe, a leading supplier of charging infrastructure, has partnered with Select to make use of 20 used batteries to provide clean power for construction sites.
The battery units, which will each supply 150kwh of energy, will be used as greener alternatives to diesel generators by the subsidiary of Laing O’Rourke. The temporary power sources will be able to connect the local grid.
Select says the development will help enable the business to achieve operational net-zero by 2030.
Select’s Product Lead, Ian Fleming, says: “Our collaboration with Zenobe represents another pivotal moment in our journey to redefining the future of energy storage in the construction industry.
“It emphasises Select’s commitment to innovation, sustainability solutions and resilience, setting a new standard for the industry and empowering a cleaner, more reliable construction landscape.”
Zenobe’s Co-Founder Director, Steven Meersman, adds: “Our portable batteries, made from refurbished electric bus batteries, provide Select Power with a ready and proven solution for their customers to decarbonise their projects.
“Our flexible funding and technical support provide the technological and sustainability benefits without the need of ownership.
“Having already been used in the film, events, and logistics industries to much success, we are looking forward to seeing them becoming a regular sight, providing clean and reliable power to construction projects around the country.”
