What They Do
Zenobē specializes in battery energy storage systems (BESS) for grid-scale applications, focusing on enhancing power grid stability and facilitating electric vehicle (EV) fleet electrification. Their offerings include comprehensive solutions such as turnkey fleet electrification, which encompasses fully financed charging infrastructure, grid connections, vehicle-battery management, and proprietary software.

With approximately 1,135MW of grid-connected batteries live or under contract, Zenobē supports over 2,000 electric vehicles globally, catering to a diverse range of clients from public transport fleets to industrial sites (source: cbinsights.com). Their competitive edge lies in being the UK's leading owner-operator of transmission-connected battery storage, leveraging vertical integration and software-driven optimization to maximize battery lifecycle efficiency (source: zenobe.com).
Projects & Track Record
Zenobē has successfully completed several notable projects, including the Wishaw battery storage site in North Lanarkshire, Scotland, which features a 50MW system capable of storing wind power for 130,000 households for two hours, inaugurated at the end of 2023 (source: energy-focus.net). By late 2020, the company operated around 75MW of UK grid-scale batteries and supported approximately 100 electric buses under managed service (source: youtube.com). Ongoing projects include the Kilmarnock South battery project in Scotland, which is set to come online in 2025, and six new electric bus depots across West and South Auckland, New Zealand (source: zenobe.com). Their geographic presence spans multiple regions, including the UK, Australia, New Zealand, North America, and Benelux, with significant investments aimed at doubling storage capacity in Scotland (source: energy-focus.net).
Recent Developments
In the past two years, Zenobē has made significant strides, including the inauguration of the 50MW Wishaw site in late 2023 and the groundbreaking of the Kilmarnock South project in January 2024, which aims to balance the grid using green energy from wind farms (source: energy-focus.net). The company also opened Australia's first multi-user electric truck charging hub in Sydney, further expanding its footprint in the EV sector (source: zenobe.com). Zenobē has secured debt financing for battery energy storage systems and is on track to achieve 1.2GW of storage capacity by 2026, demonstrating its commitment to scaling operations (source: zenobe.com). Additionally, they participated in National Grid ESO's Constraints Collaboration Project, proposing enhancements for flexible battery capacity (source: zenobe.com).

The company is headquartered in London, with additional operations in Australia, New Zealand, North America, and Benelux, indicating a diverse and international workforce (source: zenobe.com). The culture at Zenobē emphasizes innovation and agility, with a focus on balancing commercial and environmental priorities to achieve net-zero goals.
