UK based IPP working across solar and BESS sites

Since 2012, this independent power provider has been on a simple mission to contribute towards the net zero targets. They have done this through expanding their capabilities and remit in the renewable energy space. Over the last decade, they've expanded their operations to cover both development and construction of assets, allowing the team construct over 40 solar farms and have over 7 GW of projects in development today.

A unique point to the group are the sheer size of their projects. They specifically specialise in NSIP projects, becoming a leader in this space. They also keep a large amount of the work in house, having full development capabilities, EPC and delivery as well as asset ownership.
