ENERGY & POWER

Noon Energy is revolutionising the long-duration energy storage( LDES) market to address the critical need for continuous baseload power.

In April 2026, the company signed a landmark agreement with Meta, reserving up to 1GW( 100 GWh) of ultralong-duration storage capacity to power its sprawling data centre networks.
Utilising a highly innovative, modular solid oxide fuel cell system, Noon’ s technology stores energy in globally abundant elements like carbon and oxygen rather than scarce metals.
Crucially, the system can store and discharge clean energy for over 100 hours. This capability fundamentally solves the intermittency challenge of solar and wind generation.
By providing 24 / 7 firm power across multi-day weather events, Noon Energy enables AI data facilities to scale reliably and securely, fully decoupled from fossil-fuel reliance and vulnerable regional power grids.
