As one of the first asset managers in energy storage, it is the investment manager of the publicly listed Gore Street Energy Storage Fund (LSE: GSF), the only UK-listed energy storage fund with an internationally diversified portfolio.

Energy storage refers to the capture of energy for the purposes of using it when needed to reduce imbalances between energy demand and supply. Battery energy storage owners provide grid operators with balancing services to support them in dealing with system intermittency, largely caused by the addition of renewable sources of electricity like wind turbines and solar farms. The technology is well established as a means of regulating power security, ensuring power quality and balancing electricity demand.

Energy storage is critical to the integration of renewable energy generation, which is inherently variable throughout the day. The ability to effectively capture, store and discharge this energy when it is most needed can have a significant impact on the efficiency of our energy systems and help us use less fossil fuels. The faster we can innovate to improve battery storage technology and deploy it as widely as possible, the faster we can move to a greener, more sustainable world.

Gore Street Capital Limited, formed in 2015, is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority with firm reference number 811826 to act as the Alternative Investment Fund Manager ("AIFM") to the Gore Street Energy Storage Fund PLC.
