Solar PV plant pipeline
6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Solar PV plant pipeline”
How many solar farms are there in the UK?
The solar farm pipeline in the UK saw massive growth during 2021, and now includes over 900 sites adding to about 37GWpdc capacity. Almost 10GW is at an advanced stage of planning today. I have divided the pipeline of projects (total of 910 sites above 250kWpdc adding to 36.7GW) into five different groupings, shown above, and discussed below now.
Are solar projects a good investment?
Projects with strong contracted revenue streams from investment-grade-rated counterparties are scarce, and offtake tenures, once a standard 20-25 years, continue to plummet. Given these circumstances, the market will continue to see increased investment in solar platforms and development pipelines.
What types of pipelines are included in this series?
This series will consider commercial and industrial (C&I) and utility-scale pipelines and will not address residential pipelines. Development pipeline and operating portfolios are measured in megawatts.
How are development pipeline and operating portfolios measured?
Development pipeline and operating portfolios are measured in megawatts. Generally, investments in solar portfolios at the stages of either "notice to proceed” (NTP) or “commercial operation date” (COD) are assumed to be de-risked.
What are pipeline assets?
Pipelines tend to include (in order of declining risk): early-stage assets, later-stage assets and “NTP-ready” assets. Since attrition occurs as projects move from the early-stage to NTP-ready phase, developers looking to sell their pipelines often provide their views on the pull-through rate for projects in their pipelines.
Should investors invest early in solar development?
Still looking for sizzle, investors, now comfortable with solar as a generating asset, are exploring ways to invest earlier in the development cycle. The increased risk ought to provide increased yields, or so the thinking goes. Happy to oblige, developers have been offering up their development pipelines for sale.
