Siemens acquires stake in energy storage maker Skeleton Technologies
What happened
Siemens acquired a stake in Skeleton Technologies, an Estonian maker of energy storage systems. The deal closed this month and was worth over $100 million, valuing Skeleton at more than $1 billion. Siemens gained the exclusive right to sell Skeleton’s high-power storage systems to data centers, complementing its existing supply of power gear and design software to those facilities.

Why it matters
The acquisition allows Siemens to offer data centers a complete power management solution, as Skeleton’s systems help smooth power swings and reduce energy waste. Skeleton plans to invest over $200 million in the United States, including building new factories, and its technology is expected to be used across a gigawatt of data center capacity.
