A 海角视频 battery storage developer has secured £10m from Bristol-based sustainable bank Triodos. Harmony Energy said it would use the credit facility to help with its expansion across Europe.
Harmony Energy develops, owns and operates utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS), solar farms and wind assets across Europe and New Zealand.
The company’s first battery energy storage site went live in June 2020 and it now has 14 sites, including in Poole, Salisbury and North Devon. Harmony’s portfolio also includes the three largest battery energy storage systems in Europe by MWh.

"Having their support will strengthen our goals of developing and operating vital battery energy storage facilities across the 海角视频 and Europe, which in turn, leads to enhanced energy security, more affordable energy bills, and supports the decarbonisation of the grid."
