Sonnedix Breaks Ground on 300MW UK Solar
Sonnedix, an energy provider, has broken ground on a 300MW portfolio of five solar projects in the UK. These projects, acquired by Sonnedix in December 2022, are set to be completed in early 2025 and are 100% contracted under the UK government’s Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme. They range from 120MW to 20MW, and will be built by Ameresco Sunel Energy. 270 jobs are expected to be created during the construction phase. Sonnedix is aiming to grow its UK renewables footprint and support the UK’s transition to renewable energies. Sonnedix CEO Axel Thiemann said that this portfolio will be a “significant contributor of clean electricity” and a “key player” in the UK’s decarbonisation and energy security goals. What Impact Will Sonnedix's 300MW Solar Projects Have in the UK? The 300MW portfolio of five solar projects is set to generate enough electricity to power more than 150,000 UK households. The solar projects will reduce the UK's carbon emissions by more than 180,000 metric tonnes of CO2 annually. Sonnedix's investment is expected to provide a significant boost for the UK's solar industry, creating hundreds of new jobs and helping to reduce the country's reliance on fossil fuels. The solar projects will provide a valuable source of renewable energy, helping the UK to meet its ambitious net zero carbon targets by 2050. The solar projects are expected to provide a significant economic benefit to local communities, with more than £100 million expected to be invested in the project. Sonnedix's investment is expected to be a catalyst for further growth in the UK's renewable energy sector, providing an attractive investment option for other renewable energy developers.

Sonnedix breaks ground on 171MW PV plant in Chile’s Atacama
Sonnedix has marked the launch of construction works for a large-scale solar installation in Chile’s Atacama desert, with a view to power up the plant late next year. Regional authorities and executives from the IPP including CEO Axel Thiemann recently attended the ground-breaking ceremony of 171MW Atacama Solar, in the Pica district. Construction, Sonnedix explained, is set to directly create 400 jobs and see the plant become commercially active by December 2020. The project will require overall investments of US$180 million. At US$99 million, over half will come in the form of a non-recourse project finance package, closed by Sonnedix in May. Financiers contributing towards the US$99 million include Latin American development bank CAF, as well as Banco BICE and Banco Security. Once up and running, the 470GWh-a-year Atacama Solar is set to represent 200,000 metric tonnes in annual CO2 savings, according to Sonnedix. The IPP, which entered the Chilean PV market in 2015, has since grown to manage a 500MW-plus portfolio of utility-scale projects either under construction, development or in operation. The firm is active in part through a stake it owns in Cox Energy Chile and bought last year a 138MW project near capital Santiago, with plans to initiate construction by early 2020. Also present in France, Italy, Spain, the UK, South Africa, Puerto Rico and Japan, Sonnedix is not alone in its efforts to deploy utility-scale PV in the Atacama Desert, a global irradiation hotspot. The IPP’s projects are to sit alongside Solarpack’s 123MW la Granja – under construction since late May – and a major solar-plus-storage duo Valhalla will build with support from development financiers.
