European Energy has completed the sale of Trinity Hall Solar farm, a 15 MWac solar park in Bedfordshire, United Kingdom, to Elm Solar Holdings Limited, an entity established for funds managed by Alpha Real Capital LLP.
The sale aligns with European Energy's strategy of developing, building, and operating renewable energy projects before transferring ownership to long-term investors who can manage the assets through their operational lifecycle. Although ownership has changed, European Energy will remain involved by providing asset management services for the solar park. With construction complete and the facility fully operational, the project is now positioned for long-term ownership and continued renewable energy generation under its new investor.
Located in Bedfordshire, the Trinity Hall Solar Farm was commissioned earlier in 2026 after construction commenced in the second half of 2025. The facility is expected to supply renewable electricity to the UK's power grid for many years, supporting the country's clean energy transition. The project also demonstrates the expanding role of solar power in the United Kingdom, with its electricity output secured under a long-term corporate power purchase agreement (PPA), highlighting the importance of such agreements in enabling the development of new renewable energy projects.
The transaction highlights the sustained demand among investors for operational renewable energy assets that generate stable, contracted income streams. As renewable energy infrastructure continues to mature as an investment class, fully operational projects backed by long-term power purchase agreements are increasingly attracting institutional investors seeking opportunities aligned with the global energy transition. During the development and construction of the Trinity Hall Solar Farm, European Energy worked closely with local stakeholders and surrounding communities. As part of its community engagement efforts, European Energy UK established the Trinity Hall Solar Farm Community Benefit Fund to provide lasting benefits to the local area.
The project was financed by Nordea, while Burges Salmon served as legal adviser on the transaction.
