Low Carbon has successfully brought four large-scale solar projects online in the UK, delivering a total capacity of 133 MW. Among the energised assets, the Layer Solar Farm in Essex stands out with 49.9 MW of installed capacity and a newly built 132 kV substation, connecting the site's renewable energy to the grid.
The other projects include the Crouch (23 MW), Maldon Wycke (25 MW), and Links (35 MW) solar farms. These developments align with the UK's decarbonisation goals and contribute to the nation's clean energy targets.
This achievement follows Low Carbon's recent momentum, highlighted by the government's approval of its 500 MW Gate Burton Energy Park in Lincolnshire and securing 180 MW of solar capacity in the Contracts for Difference AR6 auction.
Low Carbon CEO Roy Bedlow stated, “Our dedicated team has made excellent progress in recent months energising our pipeline of projects, which are now delivering significant renewable energy capacity to the grid.” He added that the UK's milestone of phasing out coal power presents an opportunity for Low Carbon to help achieve the 2030 Clean Power Mission.
Over the past year, Low Carbon's operational assets have generated more than 120 GWh of renewable energy globally, furthering efforts in the fight against climate change.
