Greenvolt Group, based on Winwick Quay, announced the launch of Greenvolt Next UK, aiming to establish a portfolio of commercial and industrial projects with a combined capacity of 100 MW by 2025.

Their projects will help UK businesses produce, consume, and manage their own electricity, reducing the need for national grid reliance and supporting decarbonisation goals.

The firm is part of the KKR investment fund’s portfolio and provides decentralised renewable energy solutions, including photovoltaic systems and battery solar storage.

Their flexible financing options, including Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), allow businesses to access renewable energy without an upfront investment.

The UK expansion is part of a broader strategy to grow Greenvolt’s investment in distributed generation across Europe, where they already have over 450 MWp of signed capacity.

The Warrington-based UK team expects to grow to 50 members within the next 12 months, supported by their Irish counterparts with two decades of experience.

João Manso Neto, CEO of the Greenvolt Group, said: “The expansion of Greenvolt Next into the UK is a significant milestone in the Group’s strategy, reinforcing our strong commitment to this market.”

Owen Power, CEO of Greenvolt Next UK, noted the increasing demand for decentralised energy solutions due to rising energy costs and the need to reduce emissions in line with government targets.

He said: “Finding the right solution varies from business to business, whether it has large industrial units with plenty of roof space for solar panels or is based in a location where wind or heat pumps are most suitable.”

Power, who is also CEO of Greenvolt Next Ireland, oversees a portfolio of over 700 projects in Ireland, serving clients like PepsiCo, Lidl, Pfizer, and Virgin Media.

In the UK, Greenvolt Group is among the five largest producers of biomass-based electricity and is expanding its presence in the utility-scale segment.
