The UK’s energy transition hinges on one vital element: battery energy storage systems (BESS). While renewables like solar and wind are essential, their intermittent nature demands a solution to balance supply and demand. BESS offers that solution, enabling renewable energy to flourish, reducing emissions and stabilising the grid. Through supporting BESS, the UK will strengthen its net-zero ambitions and energy security while cutting consumer costs. 
 
Join our online roundtable led by Harmony Energy one of the UK’s largest developers of BESS, and together we will explore the untapped potential of energy storage. Discover why this sector is poised for rapid growth and how investors can be pivotal in transforming the UK’s energy future. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with the forefront of energy innovation.

Who is this event open to?

This event is open to asset owners such as pension fund trustees and in-house executives, independent investment advisers, professional trustees and consultants. What's more, Harmony Energy will kindly plant a tree at one of their sites for each attendee.
