Downing, Yorkshire Water to develop 28 new solar projects
Yorkshire Water has selected Downing LLP to develop and operate 28 solar photovoltaic (PV) projects in Yorkshire, UK.
The installation of solar parks will directly contribute to Yorkshire Water's commitment to achieve net zero by 2030, as all electricity generated will be consumed on-site. The water utility provides water and sewage services in the whole region.
The first phase of solar deployments, representing an investment of roughly GBP25 million (US$29.5 million), will generate a total capacity of about 21 MW. Throughout the tender process, which began in 2020, Downing teamed with Ikigai, which served as a strategic advisor and co-development partner.
