Mission
As electricity consumption in Norway increases, so does the load on the power grid. Traditional grid expansion is expensive, time-consuming, and negatively impacts the environment. Battery storage (BESS) offers a more affordable solution that can be put into operation in a relatively short time to increase capacity in the grid.
Strategy
Uncap AS is a developer and operator of battery-based energy storage systems (BESS) in Norway. Our goal is to create a more efficient power system and facilitate increased electrification, higher electricity consumption, and the seamless integration of renewable energy. UnCap specializes in developing projects that have the potential to actively provide local grid support and flexibility.
