METLEN (formerly Mytilineos) has successfully completed the sale of one of its portfolio of solar projects in the UK to Schroders Greencoat.

The portfolio consists of three parkswhich are located in Gorse Lane in Lincolnshire, Defford in Worcestershire and Watnall in Nottinghamshire and have a total capacity of 110 MWp, providing energy equivalent to that required for approximately 41,300 homes per year.

The three solar farms were developed in the UK by METLEN’s M Renewables and in April 2022 the company and Centrica signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Vodafone UK for the energy produced by the three projects.

This transaction demonstrates METLEN’s commitment to simplify and upgrade its portfolio to maximize shareholder value. METLEN remains a global leader in complex, large-scale projects across the solar energy spectrum, offering its customers full development and manufacturing services, including detailed design, and long-term maintenance services.

In October 2023, METLEN announced the signing of a contract for the construction of Cleve Hill, of a 373MW solar project in Kent of the United Kingdom with Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners. Cleve Hill is currently the largest approved solar project in the UK and is expected to be completed in early 2025.

In the UK, METLEN has been in business for over 10 years. With 82 projects already completed, with a total value of €2.5 billion, the company has established itself as the preferred partner for the country’s energy transition, offering a range of leading green energy solutions from RES projects to energy storage systems and grid projects.
