Korkia Sells Mere Flats Solar and BESS Project in UK to NextEnergy Capital – Europe

Korkia’s development company Climate ER Helio, a joint venture between Korkia and Climate ER, has announced the sale of the Mere Flats project to a fund managed by NextEnergy Capital. The project will add 56 MWp of solar power capacity, combined with 16 MW battery energy storage capacity, to the UK national grid.

Mere Flats is the first project within the development company’s nine-project solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) portfolio in the UK to reach a ready-to-build stage. Located in South Yorkshire, the project is fully consented to with all key permits and land rights in place. When completed, the facility will provide renewable electricity for over 20,000 households annually.

With one of the largest independent development pipelines of over 130 projects in eight countries and over 20 GW in renewable energy and energy storage projects, Korkia is a global investor and developer of utility-scale ground mount PV solar, BESS and onshore wind.

Commenting on the development, Pauli Mäenpää, CEO of Korkia said, “We are pleased to announce the successful closing of this transaction which marks an important step for Korkia’s strategy. Our portfolio across eight countries has matured significantly. With many projects set to reach a ready-to-build phase in 2025, we remain well-positioned and anticipate more activity in the market this year.”

He further added, “2024 was a record year for investments in the renewables sector globally, and growth in solar and wind capacity is expected to reach a new high in 2025. Korkia, along with its investors, is proud to be part of this development towards a more sustainable energy system.”

James Spooner, Head of M&A at Korkia and Director of Climate ER Helio remarked, “Reaching this milestone in the UK is a significant achievement in a key market for Korkia, and we would like to congratulate our local development partner, Climate ER, with whom we have worked closely for over three years. We are also pleased to further our relationship with NextEnergy, with whom Korkia has also transacted with in Spain and Chile. As one of the largest solar developers globally, NextEnergy’s strong experience in similar projects made it the perfect choice to take the project forward.”

Spyros Sfantos, Investment Director UK, NextEnergy Capital, commented, “As the UK Government pledges to ramp up solar power capacity from 16 GW to 70 GW by 2035, NextPower UK and the team at NextEnergy Capital are in a great position to capture this growth. The Mere Flats acquisition from Korkia is a great example of a high-quality solar asset that is driving this impact into the renewable growth agenda and marks NPUK’s fifteenth acquisition, expanding the fund’s portfolio capacity to 731 MW.”

Korkia and Climate ER Helio were advised on the sale by PKF Francis Clark and TLT with vendor due diligence by GA Solicitors and eSmart Networks.

We do not take money from any political parties. We do not endorse In_dia’s ruling party BJP and In_dia’s Prime Minister’s position on keeping In_dia a closed market, ambiguous economy, and keeping India as a heavy taxing country so no one from outside world wants to do business here. It’s like denying In_dia its right in the world…
BJP Government also discourages small and local media, coming down on them heavily regulating and using lawful actions along with soft threats from demented bureaucrat extremists and other extremist groups. On one hand, the mainstream media in In_dia is getting rich and on other hand the local small media is being strangulated. So if not automated or required, We do not willfully publish any content from In_dia or pertaining to that country.
“The parasitic left-wing media and their bottom-feeding cronies have devolved into nothing more than freeloading scavengers, desperately leeching onto every possible news outlet to vomit their hatred for President Trump, Elon Musk, the GOP, and whatever shred of sanity remains in this world. If this portal ever falls prey to their filth—if any of their fraudulent, brain-dead propaganda worms its way into our automated news curation—then it’s open season on these slime-covered hacks. These sewer-dwelling propagandists, along with their PR lackeys and shadowy intelligence handlers, keep trying to smear us with their garbage. Like disobedient pets, they need to be dealt with. And dealt with they shall be—right here on Khumaer.us, the personal news battleground of Khumaer Bayas. Let’s expose them for the lying vermin they are!”
