Harmony Energy Income Trust allocates three community funds to support twenty-two local charities and community initiatives

Harmony Energy Income Trust (HEIT), a UK-listed energy storage fund, today announced that twenty-two charities and community initiatives, local to three of HEIT’s operational sites, have been selected to receive grants from the HEIT Community Fund. 

The three community funds are allocated to initiatives located within a 5-mile radius of the Little Raith, Bumpers and Pillswood battery energy storage sites (BESS).  

Allocations are based on the positive impact each initiative is expected to have on the local community and/or environment. From supporting local musicians, replacing diesel vans with electric vehicles, and educating and developing opportunities for younger generations, the funds provide an important opportunity to help communities thrive during these challenging times. 

Harmony Energy’s Head of Sustainability, Lucie Peralta Agass, commented on the latest allocations: “The community funds are an important way in which HEIT supports communities located near its sites. We are grateful for all the applications we receive, and it is a privilege to be able to help these worthwhile initiatives.” 

River Thame Conservation Trust, a charity that works on the ground with communities across Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire to improve, enhance and restore the River Thame and its tributaries, said: “We work closely with volunteers from the Risborough Environment Group to protect the town’s rare and fragile chalk streams through water quality monitoring and education programmes. The funding from the HEIT Bumpers Community Fund will enable us to dedicate more resources to raising public awareness of their importance and to equipping local volunteers as well-rounded citizen scientists.”  

On receiving the Pillswood grant, The Peel Project, said: “We support the underserved ethnic minority communities in Hull, many of whom are first-generation immigrants facing language barriers and other challenges associated with life in the UK. The HEIT Pillswood Community Fund is a game changer for us, providing the necessary funding to enhance our Household Support Programme offering on energy-saving. With this funding, we have distributed over 1,000 energy-saving light bulbs to families in need and translated our bespoke materials into different languages to reach more people. ” 

The Parent Council of Denend Primary School commented: “The support from the HEIT Little Raith Community Fund will enable us to transform our concrete playground into a more inspirational and well-being-focused hub for the students. In addition to the new cycle route, buddy benches, artworks and planters, we are also planning to install a sensory wall that will benefit the neurodiverse students.” 

Committed to operating each asset responsibly and promoting positive environmental and social change in local communities, HEIT’s BESS assets contribute to the UK’s net zero transition through enabling the integration of renewable power into the electricity grid and displacing fossil fuel-based power generation.  

Each of HEIT’s operational sites features a dedicated community fund aimed at supporting initiatives that positively impact people and/or enhance the natural environment. HEIT’s contribution amounts to £100 per MW stored at each of our sites annually from the start of commercial operations. 

Guided by the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), HEIT prioritises Quality Education (SDG 4) and Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11) to create positive environmental and social change. For more information about HEIT’s community initiatives, visit the Harmony Energy official website.
