Pulse Clean Energy

Pulse Clean Energy develops, builds and operates battery energy storage systems (BESS) in the UK to balance supply and demand as renewable generation grows. It also develops grid-stabilising technology, including synchronous condenser projects that provide inertia and reactive power. The company has invested in nine diesel generation sites that it is decommissioning and repurposing as battery storage and energy optimisation sites.

Its partners include Metlen, which signed a balance-of-plant contract for a 129MW UK battery storage project, and Envision Energy, with which Pulse works on a 129MW/310MWh BESS in Wolverhampton. The company says it works with government, local authorities, lenders, investors and communities. It has also launched the UK Storage Asset Emissions Impact Calculator, a free and open-source tool for tracking the carbon impact of battery storage.

The registered headquarters is in Salford, and the company's executive team describes it as London-based. Founded in 2009 according to the company register. CEO Trevor Wills secured a $500 million commitment from the Investment Management Corporation of Ontario (IMCO) at the company's launch.
