PV and BESS co-location: sizing the battery for the best investment case
11 May 2026
PV assets across the UK and Europe are facing growing pressure from curtailment, grid congestion and periods of negative pricing, which erodes the value captured from daytime generation. This paper proposes that co-locating battery energy storage (BESS) with solar is becoming one of the most practical ways to protect—and potentially improve—project economics by shifting energy into higher-value hours and opening up additional revenue opportunities.
Key considerations when approaching end of life design decisions for aging onshore wind assets
11 May 2026
What to do next with aging wind farms is becoming an increasingly important question. As the first grid-scale onshore wind farms reach the end of their operating lives, the number of turbines requiring decommissioning is expected to triple by 2030. Alongside regulatory changes and new grid connections in Great Britain, this makes the options for aging sites increasingly critical.
Reducing risk and protecting value: the critical role of Owner’s Engineer
24 Apr 2026
Renewable energy projects are becoming increasingly more complex, more capital intensive and more exposed to technical and commercial risk. Grid constraints, evolving planning regimes, tighter construction programmes and increasing merchant exposure all place greater pressure on developers, utilities and Independent Power Producers (IPPs) to deliver assets that perform exactly as expected.
Avoiding delays in onshore wind consenting
17 Apr 2026
Onshore wind continues to be one of the most cost-effective and scalable solutions to decarbonise Europe’s electricity grid. Yet many projects are hindered not by technology or finance, but by delays in the planning process.
