The collaboration leverages E.ON’s extensive market reach and data on residential and business customer needs with Superdielectrics’ specialized approach to energy storage, designed primarily for domestic applications rather than large-scale systems. This joint effort seeks to create efficient and accessible battery solutions tailored to household energy demands.
Superdielectrics’ technology centers on a polymer membrane, likened to the material used in contact lenses. The company highlights that its approach minimizes the use of rare or costly metals typically found in conventional battery types, such as lithium-ion, offering a more sustainable alternative for energy storage.
Dr. Sarah Thompson, Chief Innovation Officer at E.ON, stated: “This partnership with Superdielectrics aligns with our commitment to delivering sustainable and practical energy solutions for our customers. By combining our market knowledge with their innovative technology, we aim to enhance energy storage options for homes across the UK.”
James Carter, CEO of Superdielectrics, added: “Working with E.ON allows us to bring our polymer-based battery technology to a wider audience. Our focus on affordable and environmentally friendly materials will help meet the growing demand for reliable home energy storage.”
The partnership is expected to accelerate the development and deployment of this novel battery technology, addressing the increasing need for efficient energy storage in residential settings. By focusing on domestic applications, the collaboration aims to support households in managing energy consumption more effectively, contributing to broader sustainability goals.
E.ON and Superdielectrics are committed to advancing this technology through shared expertise and resources, with the potential to transform the residential energy storage market. The initiative reflects a shared vision of fostering innovative, eco-friendly solutions to meet the evolving needs of energy consumers.
