Boralex adds another 97 MW in its expanding UK portfolio
December 23 2024 - 6:00AM
Boralex Inc. (“Boralex” or the “Company”) (TSX: BLX) is pleased to
announce that it has entered into a joint venture for the
development, construction and operation of the proposed 145MW
Clashindarroch Wind Farm Extension and adjacent 50MW Battery Energy
Storage System (BESS), for a total capacity of 195MW. The project
is located near Dufftown in Moray, Scotland. Boralex has been
developing this project for a number of years on behalf of
Clashindarroch Wind Farm Extension Ltd.
Esbjorn Wilmar, Country Director of
Boralex in the United Kingdom said: “We are delighted to
have become co-owners of this exciting project. We already have
extensive experience in the area through the initial development of
the 177MW Dorenell Wind Farm. We now look forward to taking
Clashindarroch Wind Farm Extension through the remaining stages of
development.”
Nicolas Wolff, Executive Vice President
and General Manager of Boralex in Europe said: “This
latest achievement by our UK team will enable us to accelerate the
deployment of our Strategic Plan. Through this joint venture, we
are adding to our already solid portfolio, supported by our organic
developments and the recent acquisition of the 50MW Sallachy wind
project.”
Today's announcement comes at a pivotal moment
in the UK. Earlier in the month, the UK government unveiled its
Clean Power Action Plan, setting out how it wants to achieve its
grid decarbonisation targets by 2030. This plan, seen as a landmark
for the clean energy sector, aims to unlock £40 billion annually
from the private sector for investments in infrastructure and
renewable energy. It also states that onshore wind capacity should
be almost doubled to meet the decarbonisation target, from 14GW
installed today to 27GW by 2030.
The Company submitted a Section 36 application
to the Scottish Government. The application is currently under
consideration by the Government’s Energy Consents Unit (ECU). The
Clashindarroch Wind Farm Extension application consists of up to 22
wind turbines each with an installed capacity of up to 6.6MW, as
well as a battery storage facility of up to 50MW.
On this transaction, CMS acted as Boralex's
legal advisers.
