Harmony Energy Income Trust plc, a specialist in battery energy storage systems (BESS) in the UK, announces the activation of its Rusholme project in North Yorkshire.
This 35 MW / 70 MWh project symbolizes a key step towards greater energy security and progress towards a low-carbon economy.

Strategic partnership and project management

The Rusholme project, developed by Harmony Energy Limited, sees its construction managed by Tesla, under the supervision of the Harmony Energy project team.
Operations are managed via Autobidder, Tesla’s algorithmic trading platform, already in use on other Harmony projects, including the award-winning Pillswood project.

Optimization and economic impact

Peter Kavanagh, CEO of Harmony Energy, emphasizes the importance of this milestone: “Activating Rusholme reinforces our growth and contribution to energy security, reducing energy costs and decarbonizing the electricity grid.”
Rusholme is essential to the UK’s net zero emissions targets, increasing energy storage capacity and stabilizing the grid.

Increased capacity and future prospects

Norman Crighton, Chairman of Harmony Energy Income Trust plc, added: “With Rusholme, total operational capacity reaches 625 MWh, representing 79% of the portfolio.”
This step forward demonstrates Harmony Energy’s commitment to the energy transition and its contribution to the UK’s climate targets.

Contributing to the energy transition

The Rusholme project is a significant step forward in the integration of energy storage systems in the UK, promoting energy security and reducing carbon emissions.
With increased capacity and optimized management via Autobidder, Harmony Energy continues to positively influence the transformation of the UK energy sector.
