Schroders Greencoat has selected an asset manager for a UK solar portfolio, and Statkraft has taken FID on two sites.
July 24, 2026
Global renewable infrastructure manager Schroders Greencoat has selected Irish-based asset manager EnergyPro as technical asset manager for its portfolio of 27 solar PV projects across the UK.
The operational portfolio covers sites in Dorset, Somerset, Norfolk and Oxfordshire, the companies said, though did not specify which of Schroder’s assets the agreement covers.
EnergyPro is managing the assets as an expansion of an existing partnership with Schroders Greencoat, offering its services to Irish wind assets in Schroders’ portfolio already.
It is a significant expansion of EnergyPro’s asset management portfolio, which, before, only managed three assets in England.

Norwegian independent power producer (IPP) Statkraft took final investment decision in two solar PV plants with a combined 131MWp capacity in Q2 this year.
The two solar PV projects are the 58MWp Kilcush solar PV plant in Ireland and the 73MWp Stargoose project in Eastern England, a project for which the company secured planning permission back in 2022.

In April, Statkraft issued notice that construction work was due to begin on the Kilcush project.
These two projects are part of more than 600MW of new renewable energy capacity that the IPP has made investment decisions on by the end of the first half of this year.
“Statkraft delivered strong results in the second quarter of 2026. Strategic divestments are now completed and planned cost reductions are on track. Over the past year, we have turned our ambitions into results. We have strengthened our core and reduced complexity and cost to improve competitiveness,” said Birgitte Ringstad Vartdal, president and CEO of Statkraft.
More on Statkraft’s activity so far this year is available to read in an article on our sister site, PV Tech.
