THE FUTURE OF ENERGY

Leading the way in the transition to net zero

FIRSTWAY ENERGY

We develop utility scale renewable energy solutions in the race towards net zero

Our solar farms and battery energy storage systems provide reliable and clean energy for households, businesses, and communities - helping the UK lead the way as we transition to renewable energy sources, and providing vital energy security.

BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

Firstway Energy is a leader in the development of utility scale solar farms and battery energy storage systems (BESS).

We are currently progressing 50 sites across the UK with a combined total capacity of more than 5GW.

Our friendly and experienced team has decades of renewable energy experience and held senior leadership roles at some of the largest global renewable energy developers, delivering over 40GW of renewable energy generation and storage.

TECHNOLOGIES

We provide sustainable energy solutions for a cleaner tomorrow

SOLAR FARMS

A solar farm is a large collection of photovoltaic (PV) solar panels that absorb the sun's energy and convert it to electricity. Typically solar farms are built in rural locations and the best land for a solar farm is either flat or on a south facing slope.

BATTERY STORAGE

A battery energy storage system (BESS) is a large battery that stores excess energy from renewable energy developments and the grid when there is low demand for electricity. It then discharges the electricity at a later time when there is excess demand.

COLOCATED

Colocation is when two different technologies share the same utility scale grid connection point. Most often the technologies are located on the same site. The most common colocated technologies are solar with battery energy storage systems.

LANDOWNERS

Could your land be suitable for a renewable energy development?

We are always looking for new renewable energy project sites. If you think your land may be suitable for a renewable energy project or you would like to find out more about our land partnerships please do get in touch.
