Low Carbon energises 42 MW of Dutch, British solar parks

Low Carbon has hooked to the grid 42 MW of solar photovoltaic (PV) parks in the UK and the Netherlands, the renewable energy investor said on Monday.

The capacity comes from three solar plants, namely the 23-MW St Clere photovoltaic (PV) park in Essex, southeast England, and two plants in the Dutch province of Utrecht called Wijkerbroek East and Wijkerbroek West. The solar projects in the Netherlands, with capacities of 10 MW and 9 MW respectively, were developed by LC Energy, Low Carbon’s joint venture with engineering firm Qing, as part of a 120-MW portfolio that is due to be energised by early 2024.

The newly-commissioned plants contribute to Low Carbon’s goal to become a global independent power producer (IPP) and install 20 GW of new renewable generation capacity by the end of the decade. At present, it has more than 8 GW of projects in development globally, it said.
