Powershift Technologies has announced a strategic partnership with POWR2, a global leader in advanced mobile battery energy storage.
This collaboration introduces a flexible leasing model aimed at industries facing grid constraints or relying heavily on diesel generators for temporary power needs.
As the exclusive distributor of POWR2’s POWRBANK MAX in the Australian, New Zealand and Pacific Islands regions, Powershift Technologies’ appointment is a significant milestone in POWR2’s global expansion strategy.
Damien Glanville, Co-Founder and CEO of Powershift Technologies expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating: “As an organisation, we are committed to being at the forefront of providing cleaner, quieter, smarter solutions that will accelerate major industries as they transition to net zero.”
Australian industry currently spends over $5 billion annually on diesel generators and fuel, emitting millions of tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere.
Many of these generators support temporary power needs, and until now, there have been limited solutions on the market that are both powerful enough and transportable in the same way as generators.
Sandra Brodie, Co-Founder and COO of Powershift Technologies emphasised the potential of smarter mobile battery technology to reshape the temporary power landscape, stating: “By embracing smarter mobile battery technology, we can provide cleaner, more efficient alternatives to major industries.”
The POWRBANK MAX, an award-winning mobile battery energy storage solution, will be introduced to the Australian and Asia Pacific markets through the collaboration between Powershift Technologies and POWR2.
Each battery offers 300kW of power and 600kWh of storage, contained in a high-quality, ruggedised 3.05-metre container.
Multiple batteries can be connected in parallel to create up to 1.2MW of power and 2.4MWh of storage, providing a flexible and scalable solution for temporary power needs.
Hudson Nunn, VP of Corporate Strategy at POWR2, expressed confidence in Powershift Technologies as a partner, stating: “Powershift embodies the calibre of partners we seek at POWR2. This alliance underscores our commitment to pioneering innovation and fostering sustainable progress on a global scale.”
By leveraging emission-free mobile battery technology like the POWRBANK MAX, major industries such as construction, civil engineering, mining, agriculture and utilities can efficiently and cost-effectively accelerate their decarbonisation efforts.
The partnership between Powershift Technologies and POWR2 represents a significant step forward in addressing the increasing demand for sustainable energy solutions across the APAC region.
