What Livos Renewables does

Livos Renewables is a UK-based specialist renewable energy project developer founded in 2011 by former farmer James Madigan. The company develops onshore wind and ground-mounted solar PV projects on behalf of landowners, delivering projects from initial site acquisition through planning, financing, and financial close, and providing ongoing management and community liaison. Operationally, Livos works with EWT wind turbines for its wind portfolio (500KW single turbines up to 20MW multi-turbine installations) and develops ground-mounted solar farms ranging from 19.6MW to 40MW capacity, including associated infrastructure such as substations, inverter kiosks, and transformer kiosks.

The company's revenue model is project-development-fee based combined with management services for developed sites — a professional services model structured around individual landowner agreements. Pricing is site-specific and quote-based rather than tiered. Its go-to-market motion is sales-led and direct: Livos targets agricultural landowners with unused or redundant land, positioning itself as a turnkey developer that assumes all financial commitment and risk while providing the landowner with stable long-tenor rental income.

Livos operates exclusively within the United Kingdom across nine-plus documented project sites spanning Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire, Cumbria, Cornwall, Anglesey, Scottish Borders, County Durham, Shropshire, and Kent. Its solar pipeline is co-developed with Locogen on three utility-scale sites (County Durham 40MW, Shropshire 19–22MW, Kent 22–24MW). The company employs 11–50 people and is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors or funding rounds.

Direct peers

• Locogen: Scottish-based renewable energy consultancy and developer specializing in onshore wind and solar PV. Locogen is Livos's named co-development partner on the County Durham, Shropshire, and Kent solar projects, making it the most directly comparable peer in size, geography, and service offering.
• Low Carbon Ltd: UK-based renewable energy developer investing in solar, wind, and battery storage projects. Mid-sized peer overlapping with Livos on UK greenfield development and similar end-to-end project delivery.
• RES (Renewable Energy Systems): One of the world's largest independent renewable energy developers with deep onshore wind and solar expertise in the UK. Operates across the full project lifecycle — development, construction, and asset management — directly mirroring Livos's full-service model at much larger scale.
• BayWa r.e. UK: Global renewable energy developer with active UK operations developing wind, solar, and storage projects from greenfield through operation. Overlaps with Livos on land-based wind and ground-mounted solar PV development for landowners and investors.

Emerging players

• Good Energy Group: UK renewable electricity supplier and small-scale generator active in solar PV and community renewables. Smaller and more consumer-facing than Livos but participates in adjacent UK renewable development value chains.
• Bluefield Development Capital Partners: London-based investment manager specializing in UK solar development and operation. Niche, capital-led approach to UK ground-mounted solar PV with overlapping landowner relationships.

Broad incumbents

• Lightsource bp: Global solar developer and IPP (backed by bp) with significant UK utility-scale solar PV activity. Overlaps with Livos's solar development but is far larger, more capitalized, and more utility-scale focused.
• EDF Renewables UK: Subsidiary of EDF developing onshore wind, solar, and battery storage in the UK with a much larger balance sheet and pipeline. Comparable developer activity but at far greater scale and as part of a broader portfolio than Livos.
• Statkraft UK: Norwegian state-owned generator and IPP with significant UK wind and solar development operations. A large incumbent bidder for sites and grid connections that Livos also targets.
• Vattenfall UK: Swedish state-owned utility with active UK wind development. Operates much larger projects than Livos and competes for sites and grid capacity, representing a well-capitalized incumbent benchmark.
