RWE Powers Up UK Solar Projects: 330MW Underway

• RWE's groundbreaking solar projects in the UK are set to revolutionize clean energy, reducing carbon emissions and powering thousands of homes.

Germany-based clean energy company RWE has started construction on seven solar projects in the UK, totaling 330MW of new clean electricity capacity. These projects are the first to be built from RWE's acquisition of JBM Solar, making it one of the largest solar developers in the UK. The projects include a mix of solar and battery storage installations, with the first site expected to be operational by the end of 2024.

RWE's CEO Katja Wünschel highlighted the importance of these projects in helping the UK achieve its net-zero targets by increasing solar capacity and battery storage. Once fully operational, the sites are expected to reduce UK carbon emissions by 8 million tonnes over their lifetime and provide electricity for over 140,000 homes. RWE is working with Ethical Power to drive the decarbonization of the UK's energy systems and showcase the potential of clean energy technologies.
