Zenobē to supply old bus batteries to Select for 2nd Life usage

Select, a subsidiary of Laing O’Rourke, has partnered with energy storage specialist Zenobē to help provide clean power for construction sites by converting second-life batteries and transforming them into portable energy storage devices.

Zenobē will supply 20 portable batteries to Select to be used as temporary power sources that run as a cleaner alternative to diesel generators. One battery unit can store approximately 150kwh of energy and can also connect with the local grid to provide power across a variety of applications, including construction, lifting solutions and electric vehicle charging.

“Our collaboration with Zenobē represents another pivotal moment in our journey to redefining the future of energy storage in the construction industry.,” said Select’s Product Lead, Ian Fleming. “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.”

“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,” added Zenobē’s Co-Founder Director, Steven Meersman. “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.”
