US-based battery energy storage system (BESS) manufacturer Powr2 has gained access to new mobile power markets after achieving a significant certification win.
Powr2 said it was the first BESS manufacturer in its size category to be certified to UL and CSA standards by TÜV for use in the US and Canada.
The news means its BESS systems now meet regulatory requirements in the most sensitive sites and tightly controlled markets for temporary power.
Those include highly regulated cities and regions such as New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, and Canada.
Powr2 said the certification also unlocks new opportunities in sensitive industries including healthcare, airport operations, public infrastructure, disaster response, urban construction, film and TV shoots, and events and festivals.
“This is a turning point for mobile energy storage,” said Mark MacManus, CEO, Powr2. “We’ve proven that it’s possible to deliver mobile BESS that meets the strictest requirements. It’s a major step forward, not just for Powr2, but for how the industry adopts energy storage in real-world, high-demand applications.”
Certification to UL and CSA standards currently applies to the Powrbank XPRO Plus 60Hz, a 100kVA mobile battery energy storage system with 108kWh of energy storage capacity. Additional Powr2 models are expected to receive certification soon.
