Kraken Robotics teams up with Verlume on subsea power storage solutions

August 27, 2025

Verlume, developer of subsea intelligent energy management and storage solutions for the offshore energy industry, has entered into a strategic collaboration with Kraken Robotics, developer of SeaPower™ subsea battery solutions, to deliver best-in-class subsea power storage. 

Verlume Axonn technology

The partnership will integrate Verlume’s Axonn® energy management technology with Kraken’s subsea batteries to provide scalable power solutions capable of stabilizing offshore energy networks and enhancing subsea autonomy.

This integration represents a market-first crossover: the introduction of military-grade battery technology into the commercial offshore energy sector for the first time, with Kraken expanding the reach of its battery systems into offshore energy markets, while Verlume accelerates its impact within the global defense sector.

"Kraken shares our commitment to excellence in subsea innovation, and together we see great potential to advance the future of subsea power delivery," commented Jonny MoroneyChief Operating Officer at Verlume. "We are especially proud of the pioneering nature of this collaboration, setting a new benchmark for subsea battery integration by introducing military-grade battery technology into the energy sector to support resilience and performance across critical seabed applications.”

"While Kraken Robotics delivers SeaPower batteries to defense clients worldwide for uncrewed underwater vehicles, we have not yet provided solutions for other applications like energy storage for offshore energy operations or subsea resident power stations,” added Patrick Paranhos, Vice President of Power Systems at Kraken Robotics. “By offering SeaPower battery integration into Verlume systems, clients get the best of both worlds – SeaPower’s high energy density without oil compensation or pressure housing along with Verlume’s proven subsea power storage infrastructure.”
