Danish green energy company European Energy is partnering with North Yorkshire renewable energy company Norstar to deliver a portfolio of UK solar PV projects.
European Energy said the partnership would take the company to a total UK portfolio of around 1.5GW of wind and solar.
The new partnership will combine European Energy’s development experience, including the biggest solar farm in Northern Europe, with the local expertise of Norstar.
Norstar director Rufus Salter said: “We are currently developing over a dozen solar farms with European Energy, mainly in Yorkshire, the North East and Lincolnshire and are actively looking to support European Energy’s investment in many more.
“Ideal sites for solar are rural farmland of 50 acres or more available for 30-year lease.”
Norstar provides expert property development services from its Yorkshire base and opened in 2011.
Daniel Badcock, Managing Director of European Energy Development Limited, said: “We are delighted to be working together with Norstar on this Solar PV portfolio and we are proud to be supporting green business in the north of England from our own Manchester office.
“Norstar understands how important landowner and community relationships are to us, and is an ideal partner to align our development capability with those seeking ethical, long-term income from land diversification.”
