Our take
Tackling the climate crisis requires a belief that large systemic changes can be made, with the determination to make them happen fast. Field wants to drive this change and is setting out to do so by financing, building, and operating renewable energy infrastructures.
The journey begins with energy storage, and Field is already making strides with a growing portfolio of batteries in the UK. These will store renewable energy for when it's most needed, creating a flexible, reliable, and green grid.
But this is just the start. Field's long-term vision is even bolder - becoming the UK's top energy storage player, expanding globally, and diving into cutting-edge renewable technologies that will shape the future of energy. It is already expanded to Italy, where it plans to build a new fleet of large battery storage systems.
