Yesterday, we welcomed ITV to our Thorpe Marsh site as groundwork has been getting underway. 🎥 The Fidra Energy team showed ITV around the future home of the UK’s biggest BESS and our CEO, Chris Elder, spoke about Fidra’s mission and what Thorpe Marsh means for the UK’s energy transition. You can watch Chris’ interview, and see some great shots of the site here: https://lnkd.in/esPsdX7g (we’re featured around 14:00 minutes in) 📺
