Renewables
Delivering a greener future through renewable energy.
Our portfolio of renewable energy projects is underpinned by the expertise of our talented team and our extensive land holdings, which come together seamlessly to deliver a greener future.
Working with an established network of trusted partners, our Renewables team is successfully delivering innovative energy projects on brownfield and greenfield sites throughout the UK.
Taking a proactive approach, our team is proficient in securing all the necessary planning consents, grid connections and legal agreements to help realise a site’s full potential.
Renewable energy assets can generate significant rental income streams or be converted into capital sums through investment sales. We have concluded a significant number of long-term agreements with developers and operators along with sales to investors who acquire renewable energy assets which deliver long-term returns.
The considerable expertise that our team has gained over recent years enables us to accurately identify land and premises that present exciting opportunities for the development of renewable energy schemes and generate significant income.
Wind farms
We have four operational wind farms on Hargreaves Land sites where we have lease agreements in place with large-scale energy providers and supplying energy to power over 133,000 homes.
We also facilitate access to various other wind farms through our landholdings to renewables developments located on third party land where we have put access agreements in place for a further 72 turbines which can provide energy to power over 369,000 homes.
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
Working with trusted development partners we have a lease for a BESS on our land at Broken Cross, which is located near Coalburn in South Lanarkshire. Construction work on the BESS has begun and it is scheduled to be fully operational by 2028. It will have a minimum capacity of 500MW.
We also have an option to lease land at Westfield, near Cardenden in Fife, for a BESS which has a contracted grid connection for 2031. It will have a minimum capacity of 370MW.
Solar
We currently have an option in place with an experienced renewables developer for a 30MW solar array on land at Westfield. It benefits from both detailed planning consent and a contracted grid connection and construction is scheduled to start later this year. The project can either deliver power direct to the grid via BESS or direct to onsite users at our flagship industrial development in Scotland
We are also exploring options to develop floating solar arrays on large water bodies within our wider land portfolio.
We are always keen to talk to landowners who would like to explore the unrealized potential for renewable energy generation in their landholdings and benefit from our experience in delivering real value.
