Low Carbon has successfully connected its second UK solar farm, the 23MW St Clere’s farm in Essex. The project follows the Fox Covert solar farm in Buckinghamshire, which was energised in October.

The company aims to have 20GW of new renewable energy capacity by 2030. It also recently energised two Dutch projects. The solar farms in the province of Utrecht – Wijkerbroek East (10MW) and Wijkerbroek West (9MW) – are the latest installment of more than 120MW of Dutch solar that is expected to come online by early 2024. The projects have been developed by LC Energy, Low Carbon’s joint venture with engineering firm Qing.
