Gulermak Chooses Elmya to Build Essex Solar Park

• Gulermak Renewables taps Spain’s Elmya for EPC on a 48.5-MWp Essex solar park, delivering design, equipment supply and commissioning to boost UK clean power growth.

London-based independent power producer Gulermak Renewables has chosen Spanish renewables developer Elmya as the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor for a 48.5-MWp solar park in Essex, England.

The contract covers design, procurement of equipment, construction and commissioning. Once online, the facility will add renewable generation capacity to the UK grid, supporting national efforts to expand clean energy. Gulermak said the selection is a key step as it advances the project toward construction. The company noted strong UK solar growth driven by demand for low-carbon electricity and supportive renewable policies, while Elmya continues to build its EPC presence across Europe.
