What Clean Earth Energy does

CleanEarth Energy is a UK commercial and industrial renewable energy EPC and asset management company, founded in 2010 and headquartered in Wadebridge, Cornwall. The company designs, develops, and installs wind turbines (single turbines and small wind farms, including behind-the-meter configurations with private wire PPAs), commercial-scale solar PV systems (rooftop and ground mount, including bifacial panels and co-located wind-solar configurations), and battery storage solutions for UK businesses. It also provides operations and maintenance, asset management, and financing/grant navigation services, managing the full project lifecycle in-house from planning and design through to commissioning and ongoing monitoring.

The company has completed over 1,000 renewable energy projects totalling approximately 60 MWp of installed capacity, with a notable concentration in the West Country and a growing footprint across the UK. Its customer base spans breweries (15 installations), food production and cold storage, manufacturing, agriculture, marine technology, and construction — with flagship enterprise accounts including AB InBev, Rodda's, Hillbrush, Varfell Farms, and Audiotonix. Notable technical differentiators include a proprietary switching system for co-locating wind and solar on constrained grid connections, expertise installing bifacial panels on challenging terrain, and the ability to deliver projects other developers have abandoned.

The business model combines project-based installation revenue (one-time EPC fees) with recurring O&M and asset management contracts that extend across system lifetimes of up to 25 years. Customer acquisition is driven by direct enterprise field sales, website enquiries, referrals from existing clients and roofing contractor partners, and event sponsorship in target verticals such as brewing. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, though disclosed case-study economics imply typical payback periods of 3-5 years and levelised generation costs of 3-5p per kWh against grid rates of 13-17p per kWh.

Broad incumbents

• SSE Renewables: Renewables arm of major UK utility SSE, developing and operating large-scale wind, solar, and hydro assets. Operates at vastly greater scale across utility and increasingly corporate renewable PPAs.
• Lightsource bp: One of the largest UK and European solar developers, majority-owned by BP. Operates at much larger scale across utility-scale and commercial solar, with broader capability set spanning project finance, development, and operations.
• Statkraft UK: UK arm of Norway's Statkraft, which acquired Solar Century, a UK commercial solar pioneer. A much larger renewable energy developer and generator spanning wind, solar, and hydro across multiple markets.
• Good Energy: UK-listed renewable electricity supplier and small-scale generator. Operates in adjacent space (renewable generation and supply to UK businesses and homes) with broader portfolio including own generation assets.
• Renewable Energy Systems (RES): Global renewable energy developer and contractor with significant UK wind and solar development pipeline. Comparable across the EPC, development, and asset management capabilities CleanEarth offers, but at substantially larger scale.
• EDF Renewables UK: UK subsidiary of EDF's global renewables business, developing and operating wind, solar, and battery storage. Comparable in underlying technology and customer base but operating at utility-scale and with corporate parent backing.
• Octopus Energy: Major UK energy retailer with rapidly growing renewables arm (Octopus Renewables) and Kraken platform. While primarily a retailer, it increasingly develops and operates renewable assets for corporate customers via PPAs.

Direct peers

• EvoEnergy: UK commercial solar installer and renewable energy provider serving businesses with rooftop and ground-mount PV systems. Directly comparable as a mid-sized UK installer targeting the same C&I decarbonisation use cases.
• British Solar Renewables: UK-based commercial and industrial solar PV installer with similar target market of C&I customers seeking on-site generation. Closest comparable in business model, scale band, and project types (rooftop and ground-mount commercial solar).

Others

• Solar Energy UK: UK solar industry trade association representing installers, developers, and manufacturers. Functions as ecosystem participant rather than competitor, setting standards, lobbying on policy, and convening the C&I solar market CleanEarth serves.
