Long Harbour was invited by the UK Department of International Trade to speak at their Energy Investor Forum in Israel on the 26th September. The high-profile event was attended by over 35 Israeli organisations, including leading international infrastructure investors.

The main focus of the event was “Investing in UK’s Energy Transition” and Long Harbour’s Director of Infrastructure Paul Mason discussed the growing need for flexibility in the UK’s energy system: “the rapid increase in intermittent renewables means that existing sources of flexibility are struggling to cope. There is a growing need for both long and short duration storage assets, and we are seeing attractive investment opportunities in both pumped storage and chemical batteries.”
