Harmony energises two new batteries

Harmony Energy Income Trust has energised two battery projects: Bumpers (198 MWh / 99MW) in Buckinghamshire and Little Raith (99MWh / 49.5MW) in Fife, Scotland.
They bring the company’s total operational capacity to 555MWh / 277.5MW.
Bumpers is the company’s largest battery and the largest in Europe by MWh – just 2 MWh larger than the company’s Pillswood project.
The projects were developed by Harmony Energy Limited and construction was managed by Tesla with oversight from the Investment Adviser’s project delivery team. They will be operated through Autobidder, Tesla’s algorithmic trading platform, along with the Company’s existing Pillswood, Broadditch and Farnham projects.
The company’s final seed portfolio project, Rusholme (70 MWh / 35 MW), has completed construction and has been cold commissioned. It is awaiting confirmation of the energisation date from the relevant DNO which is now expected to be in Q1 2024.
The Company’s Wormald Green and Hawthorn Pit projects (acquired in December 2022) are under construction.
