We’re proud to announce that Lightsource bp has joined industry peers, environmental non-profits, and the World Economic Forum (WEF) to launch the Responsible Renewables Infrastructure Coalition. The global alliance is focused on accelerating renewable energy deployment while also creating benefits for communities and ecosystems. 🌏 🌞 The initiative is perfectly timed. Global leaders aim to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030 by speeding up the development of solar and wind farms, plus the required supporting grid infrastructure. Collaboration can help unearth new ways to build nature and people positive projects at the pace required. Lightsource bp and its peers will be joined in the alliance by non-profit organisations including The Nature Conservancy and BirdLife International to set out ambitions and actions covering issues including ecosystem restoration, job creation and better outcomes for local communities that host infrastructure.

Lightsource bp is delighted to share that its co-founder, Nick Boyle, has been recognised by the UK Solar & Storage Live Awards with the lifetime achievement accolade. 🏆 Nick co-founded Lightsource bp in 2010, leading the company from six people to more than 1,200. Under his guidance, the business quickly became the market leader in the UK before becoming one of the global leaders in solar development. ☀️ 📈 “I’m truly humbled to accept this Lifetime Achievement Award. It’s an honour that reflects not just my work, but the incredible work of everyone at Lightsource bp, both past and present,” Nick said. “I never imagined we’d come this far, or that I would have the privilege of leading such a dedicated team of innovators and pioneers. This award belongs to them as much as it does to me. Together, we’ve shown that sustainability and success can go hand in hand, and I believe the best is yet to come.” Congratulations, Nick, from the whole Lightsource bp team! #WeAreLightsourcebp #UKSolar #SolarStorageLive

Lightsource bp is proud to partner with Schroders Greencoat LLP as we collaborate on several solar projects in the UK. ☀️⚡️🚜 One site in the heart of Wales, UK – a project developed by Lightsource bp and now managed by Schroders Greencoat LLP – illustrates how we are united in ensuring solar energy can be produced while maintaining agricultural productivity and delivering a sustainable income for local farmers. 🌳 Schroders Greencoat has also partnered with Lightsource bp’s dedicated operations and management team, where we provide expertise on many of the sites which they own. This arrangement enables our team to continue nurturing strong relationships with the site’s landowners, serving as environmental stewards and optimising land productivity while ensuring each solar site safely delivers the maximum amount of renewable energy possible. 🌱🌼 Watch below to see our team working at the Pen Rhiw site in Wales, UK whilst also managing ongoing agricultural activities.

Lightsource bp and Schroders Greencoat LLP were honoured to welcome Ed Miliband, Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, to the newly completed Tiln Farm solar and energy storage project. The 49.9MWac solar farm and 25MW energy storage project were developed by Lightsource bp and are now owned by funds managed by Schroders Greencoat LLP. Representatives from both companies were on-site to showcase the project to Mr Miliband and demonstrate first-hand the vital importance of solar in the UK’s energy transition. Shortly after, we had the pleasure of hosting Michael Shanks MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at DESNZ, at Manor Farm. This site was developed by Lightsource bp and now owned by Bluefield Partners LLP and GLIL Infrastructure. The delegations were also joined by some of the sheep that call the pasture beneath the solar panels their home. Both visits were excellent opportunities to highlight our commitment to safety, sustainability and innovation.

The rapid pace of the energy transition demands constant evolution to stay ahead. This catalyses innovation; new ideas, fresh technology and no shortage of problem solving.💡🧠☀️ One solution stands out: batteries🔋 They’re key to making today’s grid more flexible, enabling greater renewable integration and reducing price fluctuations. This, in turn, supports a more stable investment environment ensuring quality projects can offer secure sources of domestic energy and help avoid price spikes. Lightsource bp’s first energy storage project was connected to the UK grid in early 2024, and our teams around the world are progressing more opportunities that will allow us to fully unlock the potential of our solar power pipeline as economies seek competitive solutions to navigate the energy transition.

As the moon shines its brightest during this time of year, we celebrate two significant festivals in Asia: The Mid-Autumn Festival and Chuseok. Both are rooted in the themes of harvest, gratitude, and the joy of reunion, with families coming together to share food and memories under the full moon. 🌕🏮🌾 At Lightsource bp, we believe in embracing and respecting diversity, equity and inclusion. This year, our teams in Singapore, Taiwan, and South Korea celebrated these traditions with special gift packs, recognising the importance of local customs and bringing our teams closer together. 🎁 We wish everyone a warm and joyful Mid-Autumn Festival and Chuseok, filled with happiness and togetherness! ☀️ Check out the images of our teams enjoying the festivals: https://lnkd.in/e4rcffrf #WeAreLightsourcebp #MidAutumnFestival #Chuseok #Lightsourcebp #Solar #SolarEnergy #Renewables

This solar pollinator meadow is off to a strong start! 🦋 🐝 Check out these shots from late last week to see for yourself. The 20-acre pollinator field at #HoneysuckleSolar in Indiana is thriving in its first season. While pollinator habitat can take years to fully establish, the plot at Honeysuckle is already sporting a strong showing of key native species. Late summer blooms like partridge pea, coneflower and Indian blanket stand out among a thick bed of clover. Pollinator insects have certainly taken notice—our team reports an audible buzzing in the air, with countless native bees, butterflies and other insects spotted during their visit. We can’t wait to see the impact this #pollinatorconservation initiative will have as it fully matures!
