Koolen Industries looks to charge Skoon Energy’s battery sharing concept as the two have announced the signing of a new partnership agreement. This comes as Koolen, an ambitious player in energy transition solutions, recently disclosed investments in the lithium battery company Super B and the charging infrastructure company Floading and publicized its desire to close even more investments in the energy sector.

Skoon’s battery sharing solution enables the setup and management of a network of mobile energy solutions, such as containerized batteries (Skoonboxes). It allows companies to either order or offer mobile energy storage. In addition, the platform provides access to various data sets available around the application.

In the short term, the new partnership will focus on the continued growth of Skoon. The collaboration will also accelerate the development of the first marketable Skoonboxes to service a variety of mobile applications. This will be key in the market-wide adaptation of sharing mobile energy through Skoon Cloud.

This solution is seen as a logical addition to Koolen’s portfolio and is expected to play a significant role in facilitating energy evolution. “By joining forces, our companies are able to combine resources and knowledge, offering complete energy transition solutions to meet the increasing demand for sustainable mobile energy storage,” said Kees Koolen, CEO of Koolen Industries.
