In a bold move to accelerate the UK’s transition to clean energy, Greenvolt Group has announced a €320 million (around £279 million) investment over the next three years. This significant funding will supercharge renewable energy deployment across the country, supporting both large-scale infrastructure and commercial rooftop projects.
Breaking Down the Investment
- €270 million will be directed towards utility-scale solar farms and battery storage projects, boosting grid resilience and ensuring renewable energy is available when it’s needed most.
- €50 million is allocated to Greenvolt Next UK, focusing on delivering solar PV and energy storage solutions to the commercial and industrial sector—helping businesses slash energy bills, cut carbon emissions, and increase energy independence.
Driving National Renewable Goals
This strategic investment aligns perfectly with the UK government’s target of reaching up to 47 GW of solar capacity by 2030, of which 15 GW is expected from rooftop solar on commercial buildings.
By combining large-scale renewable generation with behind-the-meter solutions for businesses, Greenvolt’s approach supports a more balanced, distributed, and resilient energy network.
Why This Matters
- For the Grid: Large-scale solar and battery storage improve energy security by reducing reliance on imported fossil fuels.
- For Businesses: Commercial rooftop solar offers immediate cost savings and helps companies meet sustainability targets.
- For the Planet: Both utility and rooftop solar directly contribute to reducing the UK’s carbon footprint.
Looking Ahead
Greenvolt Group’s commitment signals strong confidence in the UK’s renewable energy sector and its potential for rapid growth. As the country pushes toward net-zero, investments like this will be crucial in unlocking the infrastructure and innovation required to make it happen.
