We’ve done quite a few solar PV installations for food manufacturers, but a recent project in Devon proved to be the biggest and most complicated we’ve completed so far. At 508 kW it edged out our previous largest system on a single roof (although we’ve gone larger for sites with several buildings, and much bigger…
Trends, events and developments in the UK energy sector.
When the Burnbrae and Afton Lea turbines were erected in 2016, it should have meant another two megawatts being added to the UK’s renewable generating capacity. Four years on, they’d barely done enough to boil a kettle. But CleanEarth recently acquired them, and last week we got them spinning and finally sending power to the…
Thwarted for three years by a lack of grid capacity, we’ve finally managed to get Sonardyne’s global HQ equipped with over half a megawatt of solar generation. We first explored the options with the underwater technology company back in 2016. Their site in Hampshire runs across three buildings – the nautically named Ocean House, Haven…
Trends, events and developments in the UK energy sector.
We have three very different wind projects in development, in south Wales and in opposite corners of Scotland. Two are brand new turbines while the third is bringing into commission two turbines that were erected in 2016 but never connected to the grid by the original developer. In total, they will add 8 MW of…
Last year CleanEarth’s solar PV business delivered a sizeable increase on the previous year, giving us our best results for solar since 2015. This comes after several turbulent years for the solar PV industry. Abrupt changes to the programme of government incentives, culminating in last April’s elimination of the Feed-in Tariff, saw many businesses struggling…
Trends, events and developments in the UK energy sector. (We used to produce an annual, in-depth Energy Outlook. But things are moving so fast these days that we decided a quarterly bulletin would be more useful. Here’s the summer edition.)
CleanEarth’s latest solar PV installation is a 250 kW system for Sharp Clinical’s European HQ in Rhymney, South Wales. Once home to the Rhymney Ironworks, and powered by coal from the local collieries, this area of the Welsh Valleys is increasingly turning to renewable energy to power its 21st century industries.
We made this film of the wind turbine’s final assembly at Accolade Wines’ HQ in Avonmouth over the weekend of 11/12 May. Great credit goes to all of our partners in this venture. After nearly three years of planning and preparation, the last couple of days went without a hitch.
