Noon Energy and Sabanci Renewables Announce Strategic Agreement to Deploy 1 GW of Ultra-Long Duration Storage for AI Infrastructure

Noon Energy, a pioneer in ultra-long duration energy storage (ultra-LDES), announced a joint agreement with Sabanci Renewables to utilize Noon's technology to deliver 100% renewable, 24/7/365 energy for AI-Infrastructure. The companies will co-develop ultra-LDES projects, integrating Noon Energy’s reversible electrofuels battery systems with Sabanci’s renewable portfolio to deliver 100% clean, firm power for AI infrastructure. This collaboration targets up to 1 GW of capacity, providing a reliable, long-duration solution. As an investor in Noon Energy — and the sister company of Sabanci Renewables — Sabanci Climate Ventures has enabled this planned collaboration, which reflects strong confidence in Noon’s innovative approach and sets the stage for a potential commercial deployment beginning as early as 2027.

Baseload Renewables for AI Infrastructure

The focus of the strategic agreement is the co-development of 100% clean, firm power projects which pair Sabanci Renewables’ clean generation portfolio with Noon Energy’s ultra-LDES storage to enable baseload renewable energy. These projects will be structured as Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) or capacity offtake agreements for systems up to 1 GW (100 GWh). This joint effort highlights the rapidly accelerating market demand for ultra-LDES needed to integrate large-scale solar and wind resources, especially to support expanding AI infrastructure. With Sabanci Renewables targeting a 3 GW renewable portfolio in the U.S. in the next 5 years, these projects would significantly contribute to their total capacity goal. Together, Sabanci and Noon Energy will enable ultra-low cost, clean, firm power for customers and the grid.

"Partnering with an established and forward-thinking company like Sabanci Renewables marks a critical step in accelerating the path to commercialization for our ultra-LDES technology," said Chris Graves, Noon Energy CEO. "In this cooperation we will develop the commercial, technical, and operational frameworks to unlock a 100% reliable and renewable grid for cents per kWh using multi-day energy storage."

Murat Oguz Arcan, Chief Growth Officer of Sabanci Renewables and Managing Director of Sabanci Climate Ventures, stated that, "We are pleased to support Noon in this endeavor, and in doing so, we are opening new investment opportunities for Sabanci Renewables. We believe that supporting the growth of AI through innovative power solutions is essential to enabling timely, sustainable growth. By bridging Noon Energy’s ultra long duration energy storage technology with Sabanci Renewables’ renewable energy expertise, we aim to contribute to the development of the clean, reliable, and scalable energy infrastructure that the AI economy will require."

Co-Development and Commercial Roadmap

The companies will work collaboratively to explore project opportunities and define commercial, technical, and operational frameworks. Sabanci Renewables is expected to contribute project development insights and capital expertise, while Noon would focus on scaling manufacturing, providing technical input, and overseeing operations and maintenance activities.
