en.Wedoany.com Reported - Fuse Energy has acquired the Cwm Ifor solar farm in Caerphilly County Borough, South Wales, securing a 20MW approved solar project expected to generate enough clean electricity to power approximately 6,000 homes annually once operational. The transaction was advised on the sell-side by Savills Earth Capital Advisory (SECA), with the acquisition amount undisclosed.

The project is scheduled to connect to the grid and begin generating power in December 2026. Amanda McConnell, Cabinet Member for Climate Change at Caerphilly County Borough Council, stated that the agreement represents a significant step in the local response to the climate emergency and the expansion of renewable energy deployment, helping to build a more flexible and resilient energy system while delivering both environmental and economic benefits to the community.

Henry Grant, Director at Savills Earth Capital Advisory, noted that investor demand for solar assets remains strong, with such projects continuing to play a critical role in the UK's transition to a low-carbon energy system.

This acquisition brings Fuse Energy's renewable energy development pipeline to 1GW, encompassing both solar and wind projects. The company's strategy involves vertically integrating power generation, infrastructure, and supply to reduce end-user costs and improve system efficiency. Fuse Energy plans to advance the Cwm Ifor project using an in-house engineering, procurement, and construction model; its previous solar project achieved a cost per megawatt peak 30% lower than the industry average.
