Lackford Estate Solar Park - UK

This award-winning development required great care in order to protect flora and fauna. The site continues to favour nesting stone curlews. Excellent project management meant a trouble-free delivery: despite severe weather, the site was commissioned just one year after proposal.

Ter Apel Solar Farm - Netherlands

Ter Apel was energised in September 2023, and it's a key milestone in Low Carbon building a global IPP. It is the first project in our Dutch pipeline to enter operations, as Low Carbon looks to play a key role in supporting the efforts of the Netherlands to tackle climate change by reducing its carbon emissions to net zero by 2050.

Fox Covert Solar Farm - UK

Fox Covert Solar Farm will generate clean, renewable energy to supply power directly into the region of Adstock and Great Horwood.

At approximately 22MW the solar farm could provide enough energy to power over 7,300 homes.

Mörknässkogen Wind Farm - Finland

Located near the city of Vaasa on the west coast of Finland, the Mörknässkogen wind project benefits from the region’s abundant natural wind resources. Finland is one of the world leaders in the utilisation of renewable sources of energy and as such this project is an important asset in Low Carbon’s portfolio.

With an expected capacity of 30MW from 5 wind turbines, the project forms part of Low Carbon’s exclusive renewables pipeline of more than 120MW currently being developed in the country.

Costa Head Wind Farm - Scotland

Costa Head Wind Farm supported the case to bring a new subsea grid connection to Orkney and since 2015 we have been working to ensure the new interconnector was approved.

The completed project will have an installed capacity up to 20.4MW and be capable of powering more than 11,500 households.

Our projects were the first on Orkney to secure planning consent, hold grid connections and win CfDs (Contracts for Difference). Now approved, the benefits of a new interconnector include greater security of energy supply, economic and community benefits, employment and renewable energy investment opportunities.

Now approved, the benefits of a new interconnector include greater security of energy supply, economic and community benefits, employment and renewable energy investment opportunities.

Once operational, Hesta Head will contribute £5,000 per MW community benefit fund. The wind farm offers shared ownership and the option of match funded enhanced community benefit fund to target alleviation of fuel poverty in the local area.

Danube - Romania

The Vifor project and Dunerea projects combine to be a 1GW wind farm located east of Bucharest and benefiting from the region’s exceptional natural wind resource and flat terrain.

Romania is one of the windiest countries within the EU, and with increasing interconnection will be an important contributor to reaching the EU’s 2030 and 2050 targets.
