Boom Power sells 110-MW UK solar portfolio to Enray Power

• Boom Power completed the sale of two UK solar projects totaling about 110 MW to Enray Power, executing its develop-and-sell strategy.

Boom Power has finalized the sale of two UK solar projects with a combined capacity of roughly 110 MW to Enray Power, executing a classic develop-and-sell strategy that recycles capital into its pipeline while handing delivery to a buyer focused on construction and long-term operations. The transaction underscores a maturing British market where specialist developers assemble bankable sites and infrastructure investors or IPPs carry them through build and operations.

While sites weren’t named, the portfolio is expected to feature high-efficiency modules on trackers or optimized fixed-tilt depending on terrain, with DC/AC ratios sized for robust annual yield rather than headline peaks. Plant controllers will be configured to Distribution Network Operator specifications for reactive power support, voltage ride-through, ramp-rate limits and rapid curtailment. Unified SCADA and string-level telemetry sharpen commissioning and future O&M.

For Enray, the acquisition delivers ready-to-build scale at a time when interconnection slots and long-lead electrical gear—transformers, switchgear, protection systems—often dictate timelines. A portfolio close allows bulk procurement, standardized EPC playbooks, and sequencing that brings blocks online in stages, pulling forward revenue. Designs typically preserve pad space and transformer headroom for batteries, enabling two- to four-hour storage retrofits that can shift energy into evening peaks and tap ancillary-service revenues.

Planning consents in the UK now carry robust environmental and community conditions: traffic routing away from villages, noise and glare mitigations, archaeology safeguards, and landscaping to soften views from rights-of-way. Biodiversity net-gain requirements—species-rich grassland under arrays, hedgerow reinforcement, habitat corridors—are standard, along with decommissioning provisions and recycling pathways.

For Boom Power, proceeds return to the development engine—site origination, land and grid agreements, environmental studies, and early-stage design—where its skill set and risk tolerance are most rewarded. For Enray, the purchase expands a buildable fleet that can support corporate PPAs or utility offtake, with calibrated merchant exposure at favorable nodes.

The bigger picture: Britain’s evening ramps and electrification push demand flexible, local renewables. Converting permitted projects into energized megawatts—then layering in storage—will define winners. This deal moves two more assets into that delivery queue.
