Entry into the domestic energy solution business by acquiring Busan-JungKwan Energy
SK Innovation E&S, which acquires Busan-JungKwan Energy, plans to promote new energy solution projects such as smart network operation project (DERMS), ESS, VPP, and renewable energy O&M project based on its power distribution network.
Busan-JungKwan Energy
Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction ESS
ESS* Business (*ESS : Energy Storage System)
SK Innovation E&S provides various business models such as demand management ESS,
which reduces electricity bills by lowering the maximum power demand of
large businesses such as factories, as well as ESS linked to renewable energy,
which prevents intermittency, which is a disadvantage of renewable energy,
and increases the prediction accuracy of power generation.
Virtual Power Plant (VPP) project
SK Innovation E&S is considering a small power brokerage business that recruits small power
resources and mediates power and REC transactions to enter the VPP business.
Entering the electric vehicle charging business
A key location for charging electric vehicles is a parking lot, and the parking cloud,
which SK Innovation E&S acquired, has the largest parking lot Network in Korea.
SK Innovation E&S will provide easy and convenient charging services
through various types of electric vehicle charging services
that meet the needs of electric vehicle users.
Global Business
Entering the American grid solution market
SK Innovation E&S became a new majority owner of Key Capture Energy (KCE), an Americal grid solution company, in December, 2021.
KCE integrates AI into ESS to stablize electric grid systems which may experience instability due to increase in use of renewable energy.
The company is developing and operating ESS projects
with a capacity of 3GW mainly in New York and Texas.
Acquisition of KCE will help SK Innovation E&S grow into a global top tier energy solution company.
