Renewable energy company Low Carbon stated that it had secured the necessary funding for a 385 megawatt (MW) portfolio of solar and battery storage projects in Britain, enabling it to start construction.
Most of the projects will begin construction early this year and are part of a 3 gigawatt pipeline of solar and battery storage projects in Britain, the company mentioned.
The solar projects will have a combined capacity of 290 megawatts and are predicted to power the equivalent of 85,000 UK homes. The 95 MW of battery storage projects will be located at the sites of the solar projects.
Battery storage enables energy from renewables to be stored and released when power is needed the most.
Low Carbon's chief investment officer Steve Mack said the projects will contribute towards Britain's target of achieving net zero emissions by 2050 and the company's own aim of delivering 20 GW of new renewable energy capacity by 2030.
