ABOUT ZENOBE

Our mission is to make clean power accessible. We are passionate about making a positive impact on communities and the environment where we work. We’re designing, financing, building and operating the world’s most sophisticated battery systems to enable the uptake of more renewable power, electrifying fleets for cleaner air, and providing clean, portable power including repurposed electric vehicle batteries. Our proprietary software and data analysis optimises operational performance for our customers to reduce emissions and costs.

Since we began in 2017, we’ve raised over 2.7 billion pounds in debt and equity funding and transformed it into over 1.2gw of grid‑connected batteries live or under contract and around 3.4k electric vehicles supported. We have operations in the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and the US and Canada, with a global headquarters in London. We’re the leading owner and operator of battery storage in the UK, supporting the National Grid with the uptake of renewable power. We also work with about 90% of the UK’s major bus companies, powering 25% of the UK e‑bus market. We’re also the number one owner and operator of e‑buses in Australia and New Zealand, and are quickly expanding into light commercial vehicles and trucks.
