Harmony Energy Income Trust PLC (LSE:HEIT) has energised battery storage projects in Yorkshire and Durham, bringing the company’s total portfolio online.
Harmony's Hawthorn Pit and Wormald Green projects were confirmed to have been successfully energised on Thursday, leaving the sites due to be fully operational over the coming weeks.
These respective 99.8 and 66 megawatt-hour projects mark the seventh and eighth to be opened by Harmony and mean its entire 790.8 megawatt-hour portfolio has been energised.
“To have completed construction on eight battery energy storage system projects since IPO in November 2021 is a remarkable achievement,” chair Norman Crighton commented.
“Battery storage continues to play a crucial role in the UK’s transition to net zero and our portfolio is a key contributor to this.”
Both projects used Envision Energy’s two-hour, liquid-cooled storage systems, Harmony added, and will provide capacity and frequency services for the grid and be used for energy trading.
Shares ticked up 0.6% to 48.80p on Thursday.
