BayWa r.e. sells 18 MWp solar park in England to CEE

M

As with Aston Clinton, the UK solar park sold by BayWa r.e. last December, the company was able to secure a long term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for the project. This PPA provides for sale of the power generated at a fixed price over a period of 20 years. The purchaser is once again McDonald's Restaurant Ltd.

According to the company BayWa r.e. is highly active in the British market. To date, Baywa r.e. has constructed solar and wind farms in the UK with a total capacity of over 260 MW. The Vine Farm solar park (45 MWp), currently under construction in eastern England, is the largest single project that BayWa r.e. has accomplished in the solar sector to date. BayWa r.e. continues to be keen on acquiring projects below five megawatts from local UK developers, with particular interest being focused on Northern Ireland.
