About

Solar Farm and Grid-scale Battery Storage Scheme Development

Our solar partnerships are lease agreements where we own and operate a solar PV scheme on your land

Who are we?

Corin Hughes and Dai Rees have over 33 years’ combined experience of working in partnership with landowners and communities to help them realise the benefits of renewable energy. 

We take a hands-on approach and are intimately involved in every stage of the project from feasibility to construction and beyond. 

You will benefit from our knowledge and experience over the whole project, and we will take care to see that you have a reliable, high quality system. 

Corin Hughes has installed 6 hydropower systems to date and is now working with YnNi Newydd to develop Bretton Hall Solar Farm, which at 30 Megawatts is currently the largest planned community-owned solar PV system in the UK.

Dai Rees was previously managing director of Greenearth Energy, which installed many small and medium sized solar PV systems on rooves and in fields.

We have worked on each other’s projects over the past 10 years or so. Now is the right time for us to join forces and play our part in developing the next wave of large scale solar PV projects that the UK will need if it is to become carbon neutral.

We look forward to working with you.

Why Solar? Why Now?

This 2013 video from the NFU explores the benefits of large-scale solar farms and discusses the balance of agriculture and power generation in the UK.  The target in 2013 was 10 gigawatts of solar.  Now, our target is 40 gigawatts, as we electrify our transport and heating sectors.  This new 40 gigawatt target still represents only 0.3 % of all land in the UK, or 0.7 % of all our agricultural land.
