RES, the world’s largest independent renewable energy company, has secured the asset management contract for the Larks Green project, the UK’s pioneering co-located solar and battery energy storage system connected to the transmission network.
Located near Bristol, the site combines 70MW of solar power with a 50MW battery energy storage system (BESS), providing renewable energy to the grid at times of peak demand.
Developed by Enso Energy and owned by Cero Generation, this milestone reinforces RES’ strong position as a trusted partner in renewable energy, managing 41GW of assets across 1,300 sites globally, including a significant portfolio in the UK.
RES has been managing the solar farm’s O&M services for about a year and will now expand its role to oversee the operational performance of the entire Larks Green project, ensuring maximum value for both the grid and local communities.
Robert Mattholie, Head of Solar and Storage Asset Management, Northern Europe at RES, said: “As the UK accelerates its shift to net-zero, projects like Larks Green underline the importance of integrating cutting-edge technologies with experienced partners to deliver sustainable energy solutions.
Marta Martinez Queimadelos, CEO of Cero Generation, added: “ It’s also important that our projects benefit the communities around us. We expect to deliver a 25% biodiversity net gain at Larks Green through strengthening hedgerows and supported local employment.
