With an unwavering commitment to innovation, POWR2 consistently pioneers advancements in mobile battery energy storage system (BESS) technology, providing solutions that help drive both profitability and sustainability.

Recognized as a top provider of emission-free, portable power solutions in Australia, Powershift’s values align with POWR2’s vision of a world powered by sustainable energy. Their mission is to support major industries to decarbonize through cleaner, smarter energy solutions that reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions while also promoting efficiency and cost savings.

“Powershift embodies the caliber of partners we seek at POWR2,” said Hudson Nunn, VP of Corporate Strategy at POWR2. “With decades of experience in renewables and utilities, the Powershift team is poised to redefine temporary power through mobile BESS across multiple industrial landscapes.

Powershift Technologies Founder and COO, Sandra Brodie, echoed these sentiments. “We are thrilled to be partnering with a company that has such a strong commitment to quality and innovation, along with a genuine focus on developing world-leading products for global markets,” said Ms. Brodie.

Leveraging the POWRBANK MAX, Powershift is targeting industrial markets and customers that are currently high users of diesel generators for their portable power needs, and that are genuinely looking for solutions that can reduce emissions, without long lead times or significant up-front capital outlays.
“Through large-scale, emission-free mobile battery technology like the POWRBANK MAX, and under our flexible leasing model, we can enable major industries like construction, civil engineering, mining, manufacturing and utilities to accelerate their decarbonisation efforts, both efficiently and cost-effectively,” said Ms. Brodie.

“There has never been a more important time to make the shift to cleaner, more sustainable power solutions, and we are excited to be enabling this shift in partnership with mobile BESS pioneers, POWR2.”

ABOUT POWRBANK MAX

The largest POWRBANK model yet, the POWRBANK MAX is a rental-ready, emission-free energy storage solution. The POWRBANK MAX utilizes clean and silent energy storage for a wide range of large-scale, temporary applications. With a 300kW+ output, the MAX is engineered to handle loads like tower cranes, mining equipment, pumps, and hoists. The battery energy storage system can be paired with a diesel generator, the grid or powered by renewable energy for a 100% emission-free solution.

One of the distinctive features of the POWRBANK MAX is its ability to effectively manage the power demands associated with equipment start-ups. In applications such as drilling equipment, where there are frequent starts and stops, traditional power sources often face challenges with large spikes in demand. The POWRBANK MAX eliminates the need for generator oversizing by efficiently handling both peak demand at engine start-up and low loads during operation. The power generator is only used to recharge the MAX. As a result, companies can significantly reduce fuel costs and CO2 emissions.
