The proposals for East Pye Solar have been put forward by Island Green Power, a leading developer of renewable energy projects specialising in utility-scale solar and battery storage systems.

Established in 2013, Island Green Power (IGP) is a leading developer of utility-scale solar projects and battery storage systems. We deliver renewable energy solutions that create lasting value for the communities we serve, protecting the environment while fostering economic growth and energy independence.

Since launch, we have successfully delivered over 34 solar projects worldwide that have generated more than 3GW of energy capacity, with many now owned by the largest solar investors. This includes 20 solar projects in the UK. These range in size from below 5 MW to Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs) such as Cottam, currently the UK’s largest consented solar project. Cottam will generate 600 MW of clean, renewable and secure electricity and includes 600 MW of Battery Storage that will store then release energy as needed.

We currently have a project pipeline of 22.4 GW, comprising 10.4 GW of solar and 12 GW of battery storage. This has the potential to supply up to 13GW to the grid.

As a developer, we oversee the entire development process, including securing grid connections, sourcing land and obtaining planning consents. This includes consulting with local communities, stakeholders and policymakers as well as technical experts at multiple stages during the development of our projects to ensure they will enhance the biodiversity of the sites.

In all we do, we are committed to being the leading innovator in sustainable, clean energy development by pioneering solutions that facilitate the energy transition, conserve the plant’s ecosystems and empower local communities.
