Elements Green, a leading renewable energy developer headquartered in London, has acquired the Bolney Green Energy Hub site from Envirotech Energy Solutions.
Following the successful signing of a Share Purchase Agreement (SPA), Elements Green has assumed full ownership of the West Sussex development, marking a major expansion of the firm’s UK renewable energy portfolio.
The Bolney Green Energy Hub, located near Wineham, is a high-capacity 148.8 MW battery energy storage system (BESS) with a 4-hour duration. The scheme received planning approval from Mid-Sussex District Council in September 2024 and is scheduled to be fully operational in Q4 2027.
This acquisition represents a significant addition to Elements Green’s growing fleet of energy storage assets. By purchasing the project in its entirety, Elements Green will leverage its global development expertise to bring the Bolney Green Energy Hub through to construction and operation, ensuring the site delivers maximum benefit to the UK’s national grid.
This milestone follows the recent financial close of the 360 MW BESS Staythorpe scheme in Nottinghamshire, further solidifying Elements Green’s position as a leader in large-scale energy infrastructure.
Rasmus Friis, CEO of Elements Green said: “We are thrilled to bring the Bolney Green Energy Hub into the Elements Green portfolio. This four-hour duration project is exactly the type of high-integrity infrastructure needed to support a flexible and reliable renewable energy future. With the SPA now signed, our team is focused on delivering this 148.8 MW asset as part of our wider 13,000 MW global pipeline.”
A spokesperson for Envirotech Energy Solutions commented: “The board and shareholders of Envirotech Energy Solutions Ltd, are pleased to have concluded this transaction with Elements Green. Following a protracted and diligent planning process, and various uncertainties around renewable energy in 2025, to be able to conclude arrangements in advance of NESO mod offers, demonstrates the confidence Elements Green has in the sector and in the quality and strategic value of our Bolney Green Energy Hub project.”
According to the 2026 UK Facilities Management Market Research Report by askporter, facilities management professionals want clear, verifiable evidence of work being delivered, with teams that can communicate progress in real time. This requires technology that is affordable, intuitive, and quick to adopt.
Yet the report found that:
Over three quarters of FM professionals (76 per cent) experience operational inefficiencies caused by siloed software which results in a lack of real-time visibility.
Communications challenges lead to maintenance issues, with 73 per cent of teams being forced into reactive problem-solving on a weekly basis.
A worrying level of compliance gaps, with 44 per cent of admitting that half or less of their compliance tasks are tracked and automated within their systems.
Closing this gap requires the establishment of transparent and consistent communications using affordable software that gives FM teams the ability to track, evidence and improve their services.
This webinar provides a valuable overview of the main findings of the report by askporter followed by a panel discussion by FM thought leaders on practical, strategic solutions that can help close this communications gap.
