Renewable energy developer Low Carbon has successfully connected three solar farms, boasting a combined capacity of 42MW, to the electricity grid in both the UK and the Netherlands. This milestone signifies a significant step forward in the company's ambitious plan to establish 20GW of new renewable energy capacity by 2030.
In the UK, Low Carbon's St Clere's Solar Farm in Essex has commenced production, contributing 23MW of clean energy. This achievement follows the activation of the Fox Covert Solar Farm in Buckinghamshire, which was announced in October.
Across the North Sea, in the province of Utrecht, the two Dutch projects, namely the 10MW Wijkerbroek East and 9MW Wijkerbroek West, have successfully been connected to the grid. These projects represent a part of the more extensive plan for over 120MW of Dutch solar capacity expected to be online by early 2024. LC Energy, a joint venture between Low Carbon and engineering firm Qing, played a pivotal role in developing these projects and stands as one of the prominent renewable developers in the Netherlands.
Roy Bedlow, Founder and Chief Executive of Low Carbon, expressed delight in expanding their renewable capacity and emphasized the company's commitment to becoming a global Independent Power Producer. Bedlow highlighted the achievement as a testament to Low Carbon's consistent delivery of renewable energy infrastructure within specified timelines and budgets, reinforcing their dedication to addressing climate change.
