PURE, BREATHABLE,
CLEAN AIR


WHO WE ARE

Navigate to the next section


PS RENEWABLES IS ONE OF THE LARGEST RENEWABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT AND
CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES WITHIN THE UNITED KINGDOM.

WE BELIEVE THAT “PURE, BREATHABLE, CLEAN AIR” IS A BASIC RIGHT FOR EVERY LIVING
THING ON OUR PLANET.  WE’RE PROUD TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS BELIEF EVERY DAY, BE IT
THROUGH OUR EARLY-STAGE ENERGY DEVELOPMENTS, OR BETTER STILL VIA OUR ALREADY
OPERATING SOLAR PROJECTS IN THE UK.

SINCE WE WERE ESTABLISHED IN 2012, WE HAVE RAPIDLY BECOME ONE OF THE UK’S
LARGEST RENEWABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES, HAVING BUILT
OVER 300 MEGAWATTS OF SOLAR FARMS DURING THE SUBSIDY PERIOD OF 2012 TO 2016. 
SINCE THE WITHDRAWAL OF THESE SUBSIDY SCHEMES IN 2017, WE HAVE FOCUSED ON
DEVELOPING LARGER UTILITY SCALE (AND SUBSIDY FREE) ENERGY PROJECTS – MAINLY
SOLAR FARMS, CO-LOCATED WITH BATTERY STORAGE.  AS SUCH, PS RENEWABLES IS ONE OF
THE LARGEST DEVELOPERS OF NATIONALLY SIGNIFICANT INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS, WITH
OVER 7 GIGAWATTS OF PROJECTS IN DEVELOPMENT TODAY.

WE ARE IMMENSELY PROUD OF OUR PROVEN TRACK-RECORD OF DEVELOPING, DESIGNING,
BUILDING, AND MAINTAINING OUR ENERGY PROJECTS HERE IN THE UK.  OUR PROJECTS ARE
OWNED AND BACKED BY SOME OF THE WORLD’S LARGEST FUNDERS AND ENERGY UTILITIES WHO
ALSO HAVE ASPIRATIONS FOR MORE CLEAN RENEWABLE ENERGY.

WE ARE ALSO PROUD THAT WE’RE CONTRIBUTING TOWARDS CLEAN TECH JOBS HERE IN THE UK
AND CHANGING AN ENTIRE INDUSTRY DIRECTION, WHILST FULLY SUPPORTING PURE,
BREATHABLE, CLEAN AIR.

OUR STORY

Navigate to the next section
Padero Solaer Limited is formed to develop, design and build residential and
commercial roof-top solar in the UK.


2011

2012



2012



The team at Padero Solar are introduced to Bosques Solaer SL. Both parties
decide to create a new Joint Venture called Padero Solaer Limited (Companies
House: 08021337).  Today this joint venture trades as PS Renewables.



In June, we complete our first ground-mounted solar farm, Eastcott Cross. At the
time, this 5MW solar farm is one of the largest projects in the UK.

2014



2014



In January, we complete our tenth solar farm, Kingsland Barton Solar Farm (6MW).



Canworthy Solar Farm (43MW) completes in December and is one of the largest
solar farms in the UK, providing enough clean energy to power more than 10,000
houses.

2015



2015



Hoplass Solar Farm (8MW) completes in March – our first solar farm in Wales.



We complete our twentieth solar farm, Carditch Grove (8MW). Together, our
projects produce more than 150MW of clean energy.

2016



2016



The UK subsidy for solar comes to an end.



In March, we connect Eveley Solar Farm (49MW), our biggest build so far and the
third largest solar farm in the UK.

2017



2017



Padero Solaer Limited establishes PS Renewables Inc in the US. PS Renewables Inc
purchases a majority share in North Carolina Renewable Energy to develop solar
and storage projects in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee.



Having successfully developed a large UK Operations & Maintenance business, PS
Renewables opened discussions with PUSH Energy (also a large O&M company).  Both
companies could see the value in merging their collective operations
businesses.  Shortly thereafter, the two companies created a Joint Venture
called PSH-Operations Limited, providing management and operational services to
over 650 MW of solar generating capacity in the UK.

2018



2018



With the UK subsidy for solar at an end, PS Renewables started to propose large
scale solar energy farms that could address the urgent national need for more
renewable energy.  This was the entry point into Nationally Significant
Infrastructure Projects (NSIP’s), with the first one being Sunnica Energy Farm
Limited, and shortly thereafter Longfield Solar Farm, both large scale solar
projects with 500MW connections.



By the end of 2018, we have built more than 300MW of solar-generating capacity
and, via PSH Operations, are managing another 850MW of third-party assets in the
UK.

2019



2019



PSH Operations now manages more than 1GW of UK solar-generating capacity, making
it one the largest Opeations & Management companies in the UK.
2020



2020



We are commissioned by United Utilities to build Huntingdon Solar Farm (8.6MW).



As part of the NSIP fleet we are developing, PS Renewables partners with EDF
Renewables UK to bring forward proposals for Longfield Solar Farm (a proposed
500MW solar and battery farm).

2021



2021



With a planned focus on the UK market, we sell the American based PS Renewables
Inc-NCRE, which had developed projects in 13 eastern border states. These states
had a combined pipeline of more than 3.6GW of solar assets.
2022



2022



We now have over grid connection agreements with National Grid with a combined
capacity of 7GW, and a total of 13 NSIP projects under development.



Sunnica Energy Farm and Longfield Solar Farm enter the  “Examination” phase of
the DCO planning process.

We purchase our Reading office, ready for expansion in the wider engineering,
delivery and development teams.

2023



2023



Longfield Solar Farm is consented by the government on 28 June 2023 – our first
solar NSIP to receive its Development Consent Order (DCO), a significant
milestone for PS Renewables and the wider industry.
2023



2023



An exciting partnership is forged with Orsted Renewables UK to develop a
significant NSIP project in Nottinghamshire – One Earth Solar Farm is proposed
to be a 740MW Solar Farm with associated Battery Storage which is our largest
proposed project to date.
2023



2023



PS Renewables sells it’s “Operations & Maintenance business (PSH Operations),
this is the largest sale of an O&M business in the UK, with close to 2GW of
solar assets under management.
2023



2023



PS Renewables again partners with EDF Renewables UK to develop Rosefield Solar
Farm – a solar farm and battery project in Buckinghamshire, this is the second
project with EDF Renewables following the success of Longfield Solar Farm.
