“As UK solar capacity grows, asset owners need long-term partners who can manage market risk and optimise performance over time,” said Erova CEO Nick Williams, following the signing of the deal.
September 25, 2026
Dublin-headquartered renewable energy optimiser Erova Energy has signed a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with European energy company Finlight for a 107MW solar PV portfolio in England.
The portfolio consists of the Finlight's 55.5MW Skeeby site in north Yorkshire and the 51.9MW Osberton facility in Nottinghamshire. Under the terms of the deal, Erova will provide route-to-market and optimisation services for the two-project portfolio for the duration of the deal.
The deal mirrors a similar offtake agreement signed between Erova and independent power producer (IPP) Elgin Energy in July, in which Erova also said it would provide optimisation services. Optimisation is becoming an increasingly valuable tool in the UK’s energy mix, which is increasingly reliant on renewable energy—in July this year, solar was responsible for over 14% of all power generated—and Erova said that it would help Finlight “access intraday market opportunities” in this context.

“As UK solar capacity grows, asset owners need long-term partners who can manage market risk and optimise performance over time,” said Erova CEO Nick Williams. “This agreement reflects Erova’s ability to support renewable projects with flexible PPA and risk management solutions tailored to each asset.”
The news follows Finlight’s merger with UK-headquartered distributed solar PV firm Atrato Onsite Energy earlier this year, as part of Finlight’s plans to increase its operational solar capacity in Europe to over 2GW by the end of the decade. Finlight CEO Gurpreet Gujral said that the Skeeby and Osberton projects are an “important part of our growing UK portfolio”.
Last year, Solar Media Market Research’s Josh Cornes wrote a guest blog for Solar Power Portal in which he described a “boom” in mergers and acquisitions in the UK solar sector as portfolios grow too large for single companies to operate, and named the Osberton project, then owned by Atrato, as an example of one such project that had changed hands.
