Low Carbon is proud to announce a major milestone in our portfolio of large-scale renewable energy projects.
 
We have reached financial close on a 385MW portfolio of solar and co-located battery projects in the UK. Construction for these projects will begin this year and they make up part of our 3GW pipeline of solar and battery storage projects in the UK. Read the full announcement: https://lnkd.in/e-mM6SRh.
 
According to Chief Investment Officer at Low Carbon, Steve Mack, “The team is particularly excited to begin constructing 95 MW of co-located two-hour battery storage assets, a key enabling technology that will help accelerate the transition. The deployment of storage alongside our solar assets is an efficient use of limited grid capacity and will support the UK’s efforts to tackle climate change.”

Low Carbon is making a defining contribution to the historic effort to move the world to 100% renewable energy.

We can work together to build a completely renewable energy system that will be a profound legacy for the generations that follow us.

Low Carbon and Emirates Great Britain SailGP Team are proud to announce our Portable Renewable Energy Blueprint. We have created a manual for all sports teams to integrate renewable energy into their operations.

We launch this ground-breaking solution as part of Energy Transition Day at COP28 UAE, as a way for sports teams to tread lightly on the planet.
 
The system that has been designed for Emirates GBR has successfully been in use at each event at this year’s SailGP season. The installation is made up of 38 solar panels and two micro wind turbines and it travels around the world with the team. It has taken their operations off-grid, while also producing enough energy to power other SailGP Teams. Across the first five events of SailGP Season 4 it has created 1,376kWh of clean energy, which is equivalent to removing 400kg/CO2.

Roy Bedlow, Founder and Chief Executive of Low Carbon, said, “Sport has the ability to inspire like nothing else and we are delighted to strengthen our partnership with Emirates GBR through the launch of our Renewable Energy Blueprint.”

By providing our new blueprint, we are encouraging other sports teams to integrate renewable energy into their operations and make a difference for the planet.

Emirates GBR Driver and CEO, Sir Ben Ainslie, said: “Our partnership with Low Carbon enabled us to create a unique mobile solar and wind installation that takes us off-grid at events. It has been a huge success and we decided to share all the learnings from creating and implementing this to other sports teams and industries to make it easy and simple for them to adopt renewable energy.”

Low Carbon joined with other business leaders in signing a letter to the UK Chancellor, urging a coherent, robust and proportionate intervention in the global race to net zero.

Policy makers working together with UK businesses can help to drive the investment needed for the vital transition to a net zero economy. Climate change doesn’t wait for anyone, and we can’t afford to sit still.

Roy Bedlow, Founder and Chief Executive of Low Carbon, said: “Low Carbon is pleased to stand with other UK businesses in supporting and furthering efforts towards a net zero economy. The next decade is crucial to slowing the pace of climate change, and it is imperative that we have a supportive policy framework in place that will allow us to rapidly deploy renewable energy at scale.”
