Two companies acquire solar plants in England – Solar Power Portal

In a flurry of purchases, green project investment platform Innagreen and clean energy technology company Enviromena both announced acquisitions of solar farms in England last week.
June 29, 2026
In back-to-back announcements, Innagreen Investments and Enviromena broadcasted their acquisitions of solar farms in Nottinghamshire and Surrey respectively. 
Innagreen’s purchase of Longhedge Solar Farm in Nottinghamshire comes as the green investment company expands its presence in the UK’s renewable energy market. The solar farm is a consented project under development by RES and is expected to provide around 49.9 MW of clean energy once online. 
As agreed, RES will continue the development and construction of Longhedge Solar Farm and, once operational, will provide it with technical services. To Innagreen, this setup will allow for a smooth transition that will benefit the site’s long-term performance.
The project is part of Innagreen and RES’ ongoing relationship, with Longhedge being their fourth collaboration. RES has developed or built 23 solar farms in the UK, which marries well with Innagreen’s mission to expand its UK energy portfolio.

Biodiversity is also a focus of Innagreen’s new investment, with the company confirming in its announcement that landscaping measures and bridleways will help ensure biodiversity improves.
Olly Alexander, CEO of Innagreen Investments, said: “This acquisition represents another significant milestone for Innagreen as part of our expansion into the UK market.
“The Longhedge Solar Farm strongly aligns with our purpose to generate attractive, stable investment opportunities while delivering clean energy to strengthen the UK’s energy security and benefit local communities.”
Enviromena’s acquisition announcement came just ahead of Innagreen’s, with the clean tech company securing Duxhurst Solar Farm in Surrey.
Duxhurst currently holds a Contract for Difference (CfD) from the UK government’s Allocation Round 6, providing long-term certainty. It is anticipated to generate more than 26,500 MWh of energy per year once operational, which is expected to be in summer 2027.
On the news, Chris Marsh, CEO at Enviromena, said: “The Duxhurst project complements our existing pipeline and provides an opportunity to efficiently deploy our development and delivery capabilities to bring additional clean power to market.”
The Surrey farm, which was previously owned by Luminous Energy, adds another CfD-backed asset to Enviromena’s UK portfolio and development pipeline. Other new additions include Rock Farm and Steeraway in Shropshire and Longpasture in County Durham – all of which secured Contracts for Difference in Allocation Round 6.

The acquisition is also a milestone for Luminous Energy, having followed closely behind the success of its UK-based Springwell Solar Farm – which secured planning consent earlier this year.
Enviromena secured £1 billion (US$ 1.3 billion) in financing across its platform in 2026, which will enable Enviromena to fund its current 1GW solar pipeline during the next five years.
