About us

While continuing to expand its project pipeline, Cambridge Power has also evolved into a fully integrated developer, which constructs and operates a growing portfolio of utility-scale energy storage and renewable generation assets.

To support our growth and position ourselves at the forefront of the UK energy transition, we have established partnerships with leaders in their respective fields.

Partnerships are also key to success of the development side of our business. We pride ourselves on establishing relationships with landowners that seek to maximise income from their land and support the UK’s Net Zero ambitions, where supplies of clean power are expected to increase, underpinned by e-mobility and low carbon heating demand.

We are working industry leading optimisation teams to manage our growing energy storage renewable generation asset portfolio. These companies combine machine learning and artificial intelligence with deep knowledge of the energy market, battery storage and renewable energy assets, to optimally transact power and gain the best returns.

Our construction partners are leading EPCs experienced in constructing BESS and solar sites, incorporating HV (High Voltage) electrical works.

The Cambridge Power team have a proven track record of taking projects from a potential site through grid, land, planning with a team built in-house, and also using strategic external consultants who are industry leading.
