A leader in intelligent management and energy storage technologies for the energy industry.
The company’s core technology had recently become commercialised.
Active in the marine renewables and oil and gas sector, looking to expand into Offshore Wind.
Saw an opportunity to improve energy storage in marine renewables.
Business profile
Verlume successfully secured grant funding from OWGP’s 2020 Cross Sector Support Call and were paired with delivery partner Xodus, a leading offshore energy consultancy providing technical, engineering and commercial support. Verlume and Xodus worked together for nine months to investigate how Verlume’s technology could be applied to the Offshore Wind market.
Intelligent energy management and energy storage technologies for the energy industry.
Underwater, offshore and onshore solutions.
Energy management and battery storage system chosen by RWE for 760MW OranjeWind project.
Verlume’s Halo technology is a scalable, modular battery energy storage system with integrated intelligent energy management, specifically developed for clean power delivery in the demanding underwater environment.
The funding enabled Verlume to develop the technical specification for an Intelligent Wind Energy Storage (IWES) platform. This will be a battery energy storage solution, packaged for the harsh offshore environment, subsea or within the tower or substation, a much needed solution to transition offshore wind farms away from diesel generators.

In a position to approach industry with a clear solution.
Now engaged with a number of operators to assess opportunities for their technology in Offshore Wind farms.
Built credibility and relationships with key contacts in the sector.
Before
Prior to OWGPʼs support Verlume, formerly EC-OG, was exploring the wider offshore renewables sector, specifically looking at ways in which its technology could bring efficiencies and mass decarbonisation in the sector. Verlume was confident that there was a significant opportunity for its business in the Offshore Wind space for its already commercialised energy storage systems but sought deeper market insight and funding to further identify a use case.
What they say
“
With Offshore Wind being an important target growth market for our business, the Offshore Wind Growth Partnership’s programme has been fundamental for building our credibility in this area and has helped to facilitate relationships with key contacts at wind operators.”
