British clean energy utility Octopus Energy – partly owned by Australia’s biggest energy utility – has launched a range of new home batteries available across Europe, including plug-in and wall-mounted options.
Octopus Energy unveiled its new range of home batteries at its Energy Tech Summit on Monday, making the company the first major British energy supplier to launch its own battery range.
The new ‘Nook’ range of home batteries include the Octopus Nook Cube, a compact, shoebox-sized 2kWh battery that simply plugs into a standard socket, as well as the Octopus Nook Collosus, a wall-mounted 5kWh battery.
The Nook Cube has been designed specifically for renters and apartment dwellers and can stacked up to 10.5 kWh. The battery is controlled through the Octopus app.
The Nook Collosus, on the other hand, is the more typical home battery which is mounted to a wall and boasts 5kWh of capacity and able to be stacked up to 30kWh.
