“ Customer trust remains paramount to our success and growth ,” he reiterates . “ Without the support of our customers , we wouldn ’ t have been able to reach this milestone , nor would we have experienced a high adoption rate for our BESS solution upon its launch . As some of our projects can take up to two years , we develop relationships with customers to better understand their needs and challenges , ultimately providing a solution that addresses their pain points . From here , we work with them throughout the 15-year asset life cycle and provide ongoing technical support .”

Turning to current operations , Hugh explains how Edina is working with MWM to develop hydrogen solutions . “ Since the UK Government announced its hydrogen strategy in 2021 , we ’ ve been working with MWM to offer a blended hydrogen solution ,” Hugh states . “ Hydrogen fuel isn ’ t new to MWM , as they have over 20 years of commercial and operational experience of working with hydrogen blends of up to 60 percent volume . At present , MWM gas engines can accept ten percent hydrogen blends , but they can be easily upgraded using a simple retrofit conversion kit to accept 25 percent blends , which reduces site emissions by eight percent .
“ Today , less than one percent of the gas in distribution networks is hydrogen , but new proposals announced in December 2023 offer potential for blended hydrogen with other gases in the network to strengthen the wider energy system . As hydrogen and renewable natural gas becomes more readily available , we expect to see more customers making the switch to improve their carbon positioning using MWM engines .” 50
