KK Group acquires PowerCon to expand into maritime electrification
KK Group finalized the acquisition of Danish shore power specialist PowerCon on April 20, 2026, marking its strategic entry into maritime electrification. The transaction strengthens KK Group's power conversion and battery energy storage system capabilities while unlocking cross-selling opportunities across wind, maritime, and energy storage sectors. PowerCon, a 15-year collaborator with KK Group in the wind industry, specializes in power conversion technology for maritime, wind, and battery storage applications, with a global installed base of shore power solutions. The deal is expected to close in Q2 2026 following regulatory approval, positioning KK Group to accelerate the electrification of global ports and shipping hubs. PowerCon's shore power technology enables ships to connect to electrical grids at berth, eliminating diesel engine use and reducing emissions in harbor operations. KK Group CEO Mauricio Quintana emphasized the alignment with PowerCon's mission to support sustainable energy transitions, while PowerCon CEO Kim Brøndum Larsen highlighted the benefits of joining KK Group's scaled resources for broader market reach.
