Powering Our Futures

We are funded by one of Octopus Energy’s funds, Octopus Energy Generation and work closely with the Octopus Energy team to develop renewable energy projects that will help the U.K. achieve its’ Net Zero targets.

Why Solar?

Landowners & Managers

A solar project allows a farming business to diversify its income stream and reduce the impacts of external forces.

For the Environment

When land is set aside for a solar project, the soil is given the opportunity to recover and improve biodiversity within the soil.

Energy Security

As one of the UK’s cheapest forms of generating electricity by deploying more solar we help reduce the dependency on fossil fuels.
