UK battery storage firm Zenobe has secured £25 million (US$32.93 million) in funding from Santander as it looks to continue its growth.

The capital raised from the debt facility will allow Zenobe to invest in behind-the-meter services offered to commercial and industrial customers, and finance the construction and/or purchase of new grid scale battery storage projects.
