Boom Power

What Boom Power does

Boom Power Ltd is a UK-based renewable energy project developer specialising in large-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) farms and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Arundel, West Sussex, the company develops utility-scale projects ranging from 1 MW to over 530 MWp, with a current footprint of 1.7 GW constructed and 3.0+ GW in development. Core technology comprises bi-facial solar modules optimised for UK weak-light conditions and grid-scale lithium-ion BESS with integrated fire safety systems, designed in collaboration with local fire and rescue services. The company has secured three Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) Development Consent Orders, including East Yorkshire Solar Farm (~530 MWp) and Fenwick Solar Farm (237.5 MW), giving it one of the most concentrated in-house NSIP track records in the UK solar market.

The business model is a hybrid developer-developer/sponsor structure under a Build | Own | Operate | Maintain framework. Boom Power originates projects by securing long-term land leases with farmers and landowners, obtains planning consent (including through the DCO process for NSIPs), and either operates assets long-term or, more typically, sells consented or operational projects to institutional investors and energy infrastructure funds. Recent divestitures include East Yorkshire to Ampyr Solar Europe (February 2026), New Hall and Low Farm to Downing (December 2025), and Firsfield and Osgodby to Enray Power (November 2025). The company also retains Development Management Services Agreements providing fee-based oversight through construction, as is the case for East Yorkshire through its planned 2029 energisation. Revenue streams are therefore a mix of one-time project sale proceeds and recurring development management fees.

Boom Power serves two principal customer segments: landowners (farmers and agricultural landholders who enter long-term lease arrangements of up to 40 years) and institutional investors / energy infrastructure funds (Downing, Enray Power, Ampyr Solar Europe and others seeking consented renewable energy assets). Secondary beneficiaries include the National Grid and Distribution Network Operators, which benefit from BESS-provided grid balancing, and UK electricity consumers. The company operates from a single headquarters location in Arundel with an 11-50 employee headcount and historically expanded into Australia (2017-2019) before concentrating on UK NSIP development.

Revenue model

1. Project Development and Sale: BOOM Power originates, designs, and obtains planning consent for solar and battery storage projects, then sells consented assets to investors and infrastructure funds. The company completes development through to planning consent and exits following the development and investment phase, while sometimes retaining involvement during construction under Development Management Services Agreements.
2. Renewable Energy Generation (Operated Assets): The company operates under a Build | Own | Operate | Maintain model for selected projects, generating revenue from electricity sales to the grid over project lifespans of typically 40 years.

Core offering

BOOM Power develops utility-scale solar farms (1 MW to 530+ MWp) and grid-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) (114 MWh to 1+ GWh) in the UK. The company identifies sites, secures landowner lease agreements, designs projects, navigates the planning consent process (including Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects via Development Consent Order), and ultimately sells consented assets to institutional investors and infrastructure funds such as Downing, Enray Power, and Ampyr Solar Europe. Selected projects are retained under a Build | Own | Operate | Maintain model with electricity sales to the grid over 40-year operational lifespans.

Product overview

Boom Power is a UK-based renewable energy developer specialising in large-scale solar farms and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). The company's core offering follows a Build | Own | Operate | Maintain model, developing projects ranging from 1 MW to over 530 MWp.

Direct peers

• Cero Generation: European solar developer focused on developing and selling utility-scale solar and storage projects to institutional investors. Highly comparable to Boom Power's project origination and divestiture model.
• Low Carbon: UK-based renewable energy developer with a portfolio spanning utility-scale solar farms and battery storage. Directly comparable in terms of project type, target customers (institutional investors), and development-to-sale business model.
• Island Green Energy: UK-based solar and battery storage developer targeting multi-MW to NSIP-scale projects. Overlaps with Boom Power in project size range, target investor base, and development focus.
• NextEnergy Capital: UK-focused solar energy developer and fund manager operating utility-scale solar projects via a developer-plus-asset-owner model. Closely comparable in target market, technology, and revenue model.
• Lightsource bp: One of the largest UK and European utility-scale solar developers and long-term asset owners, developing and operating projects at multi-gigawatt scale. Highly comparable to Boom Power's solar farm and BESS development pipeline and sale-to-investor model.
• Aura Power: UK and European developer of solar farms and battery storage projects that develops projects through to construction and operations. Comparable in project scale, technology mix, and development-to-investor monetization approach.

Broad incumbents

• Eni Plenitude: European integrated energy company with a growing renewables and BESS development business including UK projects. Comparable technology and customer profile but operates as part of a large incumbent energy platform.
• EDF Renewables UK: UK arm of a major European utility developing and operating utility-scale wind, solar, and storage projects. Overlaps with Boom Power in utility-scale renewables development but operates as part of a much broader portfolio under a large utility parent.
• Statkraft: Europe's largest renewable energy generator, active across wind, solar, hydro, and storage in multiple markets including the UK. Comparable in the renewable generation asset class but operates at far larger scale and broader geographic scope.
• Iberdrola Renewables: Global utility with significant UK and European renewable generation including solar, wind, and battery storage. Comparable in asset categories but competes from a much larger incumbent base rather than a developer-only model.
