Providing reliable, mobile power using sustainable and renewable energy sources on construction sites is a challenge. Often the only solution is diesel and petrol generators.

This project aims to show there is an alternative - a clean, quiet, and rapidly deployable battery storage ecosystem that could replace diesel and petrol generators in off-grid, remote, temporary settings.

In the collaboration with the team behind the Hivepod demonstration project, this project will trial the use of Equoia’s mobile battery storage units (Baby Power Droid) and a solar array setup, to provide continuous energy supply to the HivePod installation.

The project will also support Equoia to explore new applications for their technology, building on the use-case in the film and tv sector where the technology was created. As an early-stage company, the trial will support Equoia to test and expand into community events and grow towards their broader mission: to power remote communities, support emergency services, construction sites, and sporting events.
