Risk-Managed Delivery
Outcome
The project continues to progress positively, supporting a solar farm that will:
-
Generate 21MW of renewable electricity
-
Power up to 6,000 homes with clean energy
-
Displace approximately 380,000 tonnes of CO₂ over its 40-year lifespan
The Kincraig Solar Farm plays a vital role in supporting the UK’s transition to net zero while strengthening national energy security.
The Challenge
The Kincraig Solar Farm required:
-
A fully turnkey substation solution spanning multiple voltage levels
-
High standards of safety, compliance, and performance
-
Efficient logistics and offloading in a remote location
-
A delivery partner capable of managing risk across all stages of the project
The substations play a critical role in connecting renewable generation to the national grid reliably and efficiently.
