Military-grade SeaPower batteries to enter commercial offshore energy

Scottish subsea energy firm Verlume and Canadian marine technology company Kraken Robotics have partnered to introduce military-grade SeaPower batteries into the commercial offshore energy sector for the first time. By integrating Verlume’s Axonn energy management system with Kraken’s high-performance SeaPower batteries, the collaboration aims to provide reliable, scalable, and efficient subsea power solutions. These integrated systems are designed to stabilize offshore energy networks, support autonomous subsea operations, and facilitate the transition to low-carbon offshore activities across defense, oil and gas, renewables, and offshore robotics industries. Traditionally, Kraken’s SeaPower batteries have been used primarily for defense applications, such as powering uncrewed underwater vehicles. This partnership expands their use into commercial offshore energy storage and resident subsea power stations. The collaboration leverages Kraken’s battery technology—characterized by high energy density without the need for oil compensation or pressure housing—and Verlume’s subsea power infrastructure to deliver enhanced subsea autonomy and sustainability.
