With contracts signed, the Newport site is expected to be up and running in the third quarter of 2024. Founded in 2021, Field is dedicated to building the renewable energy infrastructure needed to reach net zero, starting with battery storage. Field’s first battery storage site, in Oldham (20 MWh), commenced operations in 2022.
