Amazon partners with Unbound Potential to pilot battery technology at logistics hub
Amazon has partnered with Unbound Potential, a Swiss battery startup, to trial its battery energy storage (BESS) technology in a pilot project at Amazon’s European logistics centers. Amazon aims to use the battery to support the challenge of limited solar energy utilization due to 24/7 operations, enabling the transition to off-grid fulfillment centers powered entirely by renewable sources.
During the pilot phase, Amazon will work closely with the startup, providing feedback, troubleshooting assistance, and opportunities to refine their technologies to ensure they work smoothly in their placements.
Upon completion, environmental impacts, financial viability, and overall effectiveness of the pilot will be assessed to determine whether it can be scaled across other sites as part of a long-term partnership.
