We continue to work on an active pipeline of projects in Portugal and will update our website as our plans progress.

United Kingdom

Our Activities

We have a strong and active presence in our home marketplace and as a leading player in the UK market, we have delivered over 600MW of renewable energy and battery energy storage projects in the UK.

Key highlights include our development of one of the UK’s largest operational community solar schemes (Carlam Hill), and one of the first Enhanced Frequency Response (EFR) battery storage projects (Nevendon 10MW). Our 15MW Lockleaze battery storage project was the largest in the UK when it was energised in June 2017.



Our Approach

Our philosophy is to work closely with grid network operators, landowners, local communities, planning specialists and other local stakeholders to identify and mature the most viable projects. We take pride in offering benefits locally, including community benefit funds and enhancing biodiversity. Our UK team operates from our headquarters in Bristol.

Active Projects

We are actively developing a maturing pipeline of solar farms and battery energy storage projects across the country.

Our Activities

Aura Power is focused on developing a portfolio across the North East. With solar currently amongst the cheapest and most abundant energy sources in the world, we are seeing a greater demand than ever for small and large scale developments. Our specialist development team has a deep understanding of the permitting and development process and works with with several of the US grid operators and environmental agencies like PJM, NYISO, New Mexico RETA, ERCOT, the DEQ and SCC to ensure our projects meet or exceed all regulatory and environmental standards.

Our Approach

Our philosophy is to work closely with system operators, landowners, planning specialists and other stakeholders to identify and progress the most viable projects. We are very thorough when it comes to searching for the right land and offer strong rentals for prime sites. We are also open to purchasing land for projects.

Our management team operates out of our headquarters in Bristol, UK, and takes regular trips to the US to meet landowners, grid operators and planners alongside our on-the-ground teams.

We have a rapidly growing pipeline of projects that are being developed in the PJM and NYISO service areas and we are also looking to expand into new regions.
