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.

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.
