Low Carbon and SmartestEnergy have drawn new long-term route-to-market Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) for 300 MW of solar capacity.
The agreement includes eight of the projects of Low Carbon that have awarded 15-year contracts for Difference (CFDs) in the 8 (AR4) assignment round and awarded three PV assets from Solar in AR5.
The AR4 projects include: Adstock Solar Farm, St Clere’s Solar Farm, Inkersall Road Solar Farm, Crouch Solar Farm and Left Solar Farm; and the AR5 projects are the Fern Brook Solar Farm and Berk Solar Farm. The companies did not announce the remaining projects when asked.
Onboarding is completed for “the majority” of the AR4-valued assets and is planned for the remaining assets, awarded CFDs in AR5, to start from April 2028.
The deal promotes one Existing cooperation between the two companies; In 2013, Renewable Power Generator Low Carbon began to work with SmarteltEnergy, which buys and supplies companies with renewable electricity, to contract new Build sunstites developed under the support Support Scheme of renewable energy sources.
Marco Verspuji, head of energy management at Low Carbon, explained: “This type of PPA acts as an essential tool for low carbon to manage the price risk as part of our growth as an independent power producer of the next generation.”
He suggested that further agreements between the two companies will be concluded “in the coming months”.
