Statkraft secured planning consent for a 32 MW solar site in Cornwall, per Renews.biz. The project includes a co-located BESS, making it one of the larger hybrid solar approvals in the South West of England this year. No construction timeline was disclosed.
Separately, Aukera closed financing on a solar project in Rhineland-Palatinate in the German zone. The site targets commercial operations in early 2027. Financial close puts the project on a firm construction path, though Renews.biz did not disclose lenders or debt terms.
The two announcements, both from Renews.biz, reflect continued permitting and financing momentum for utility-scale solar across Western Europe despite ongoing capture price pressure in both the GB and German bidding zones.
