At Cero we’re working closely with our supply chain to ensure that what goes into our projects is sourced transparently and ethically. That's why 🤝 We’re a member of the Slave Free Alliance and the Solar Stewardship Initiative. 🔎 We’ve developed traceability protocols. 👷♀️ We’re undertaking physical audits at our supplier’s factories. 1️⃣ And we’re building commercial relationships with a range of tier one suppliers. There is still much to do. And it's important we continue to make progress. Because we want to do our part to ensure solar projects can benefit everyone involved. And work toward a better world for us all.

It’s #COP29 – and while this year the focus is on the funding needed to accelerate the energy transition, its increasingly clear that we need to inspire a new generation of people to establish a mandate for continued investment through to Net Zero 2050 We spoke to People Partner Samira Ahmed about what inspired her to pursue a career in the renewables sector, and what we’re doing to attract a diverse range of people from across Europe to collaborate and make an impact.

Great to see our French development team discussing the opportunities for developing agrivoltaic projects in the Burgundy region!

Another industry first for Cero's Larks Green solar project! Larks Green has now become the first co-located solar PV and battery energy storage system (BESS) project to connect to the UK National Grid’s electricity transmission network. This significant milestone was achieved following the successful energisation of a 49.5MW / 99MWh BESS facility provided by e-STORAGE , a subsidiary of Canadian Solar Inc. The energisation of the 50 MW co-located battery storage system follows the completion of the 70MWp Larks Green Solar PV project in April 2023, which was the first standalone solar PV project to connect to the transmission network. The co-located solar and battery storage project will allow power to be delivered to the Grid when it is needed, coupling demand and generation. The development of these projects will help to reduce the cost of energy for households, while also reducing the UK’s reliance on fossil fuels. Check out the video below!

We are deeply shocked and saddened by the sudden and devastating floods that struck southern Spain yesterday, leaving communities shattered and lives forever changed. Our hearts are with all those affected by this tragedy—the families who have lost loved ones, the displaced, and everyone struggling in the wake of this disaster. We stand in solidarity with all of Spain, joining together in three days of mourning as we honor the memories of those lost and extend our support to those facing immense challenges.

“A win win situation” Our Portfolio Director Marta Sanchez Lopez talks about the huge benefits that can come from combining farming with utility scale solar projects, as well as her upbringing, what inspired her to enter a career in engineering and her hopes for solar projects with grid connections that more directly benefit local communities. Take a look at what Marta had to say here.

"A profoundly moving experience." That’s how Cero’s Senior Project Manager Dimitrios Papadopoulos described his recent visit to our latest charity partner, The Drama Special School. "Seeing the courage and determination of the students of all ages - especially the young kids - as they expressed themselves through performance was truly inspiring." "Each moment felt like a celebration of their unique voices, as they overcame challenges with remarkable resilience." "The teachers and staff there are nothing short of extraordinary, creating a safe, nurturing space where every student is encouraged to shine." "Their compassion, dedication, and unwavering support are the driving forces behind the students' success." "Every day, these young individuals demonstrate incredible strength and are true heroes, reminding us of the power of perseverance and the limitless potential of the human spirit."

It’s always great to see our community investments take off! Last year, Cero Generation and our UK development partner, Enso Energy helped fund the development of a new school library with a difference for St Helen's Primary School, in Alveston near Bristol. The primary school students came up with a great idea to rescue a plane that had finished its useful service from a plane graveyard – and turn it into a school library! The school then applied for funding from our community engagement fund, set up during the development of our Larks Green Solar project. That money then helped fund the transformation of an old and unused plane fuselage into a fantastic, engaging library! St Helen's Primary School’s Reading Lead Lottie Paul said, “After many months of dreaming, planning and hard work, the Library Plane at St Helen’s has finally taken off. The first visits to the library took place on Thursday 7th March, World Book Day 2024. The children were full of anticipation and expectation as they prepared to board the plane for the first time. The school and local community have pulled together to create a magical space for children to read and explore the world beyond their classrooms. One of our school development priorities is to promote ‘reading for pleasure’ for every child. They can be transported to wild and wonderful places within the pages of a book while onboard the plane. Every class visits the plane library each week where they immerse themselves in a book and enjoy a story time together. The popular reading club is also underway and is one of the most popular clubs in the school!”
