Projects in the UK
Marksbury Plain Solar Farm
Environmental Impact
Once operational, the solar farm is expected to have a lifespan of up to forty years, saving approximately 304,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions over its lifetime. This is around the same reduction in carbon emissions as taking over 176,000 cars off UK roads.
Working with Asahi Europe and International
“European Energy has developed a strong pipeline of solar and wind projects across the UK, which we will build out over the coming years … Corporate PPAs have an important role to play in our delivery strategy. We are proud to be able to assist sustainability-focused organizations such as Asahi to further decarbonize their operations and support the energy transition in the UK” Adam Spearey, Director European Energy UK
