Latest announcement highlights Low Carbon’s continued growth as a next-generation Independent Power Producer (IPP) delivering renewable energy at scale
Leading renewable energy company, Low Carbon, have signed two 15-year route-to-market Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) for 52 MW of contracted solar capacity with SSE Energy Markets.
The energy will be generated from the Feldon Vale and Long Meadow solar farms, located in the West Midlands and South East England, which are expected to enter commercial operations in 2026.
Combined the sites will produce enough clean electricity to power nearly 28,000 homes across the UK and avoid approximately 25,000 tonnes of CO2e annually.
Under the 15-year PPAs, SSE Energy Markets will deliver comprehensive route-to-market and optimisation services, including managing the balancing risk and charges for Low Carbon at a fixed price. Additionally, SSE will be responsible for marketing the Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGO) certificates generated by the solar farms for the fifteen-year contracts.
