For communities
Each of our projects provides tangible benefits in kind for the communities that host them. An electricity subsidy for those households nearest to the project. Funding to support those in the community in fuel poverty to take action to reduce energy bills.
For landowners
Without landowners willing to take on projects, the renewable energy transition wouldn’t be possible. We work closely with our landowners to integrate projects into their existing businesses and design planting schemes that enrich the land while it’s generating electricity.
For land agents
We work closely with national, local and specialist land agents on behalf of their land owner clients to create renewable energy projects that deliver predictable, long term revenue streams and add value to other business operations.
We’re developing the large scale solar energy generation and battery storage projects needed to deliver a cleaner, lower cost and more secure UK energy system.
The transition to renewable energy in the UK is now both a climate and economic imperative. Solar and wind generated energy is significantly cheaper than gas or coal fired power. While the energy repercussions of the war in Ukraine have highlighted the difficulties of relying on imported energy sources.
Clearstone Energy originates, develops and delivers large scale solar and battery storage projects across the UK. Our projects are strategically located and sized to make the maximum contribution to modernising the UK’s electricity network in support of the transition to low carbon electricity.
Our development philosophy is one that puts people – farmers, landowners and local communities – and the enhancement of natural ecosystems at the heart of the projects that will rewire the UK to provide clean and reliable electricity for all.
Our projects
Building back nature
In the words of UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at the COP27 climate conference in 2022, “there can be no solution to climate change without protecting and restoring nature’. We should never be making a choice between clean energy and protecting nature. Each of our projects is an opportunity to build back nature, supporting council efforts to develop nature recovery networks, and helping nature play a role in tackling climate change.
Solar Energy
The UK’s energy markets have experienced turmoil and rising electricity costs since 2021, leading to a surge in rooftop and ground-mounted solar installations in 2022. Two-thirds of UK solar generation comes from large-scale projects, and solar energy is the fastest growing and lowest cost renewable energy technology.
Battery Storage
Battery energy storage is a critical tool for balancing supply and demand in a renewable energy powered electricity system. Transitioning from gas fired power stations to batteries for this system balancing role will make our energy system cleaner, cheaper and more secure.
Delivering a carbon-free UK
The projects we develop will not only contribute to delivering a carbon free UK electricity network by 2035 but also provide the platform for the larger energy transition that will see the UK achieve its legally binding commitment to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. Clean, reliable and home grown electricity will support households to make the transition to electric vehicles, heating, cooling and hot water production.
