Enviromena, the UK-based independent power producer, has acquired the 27.5 MWp Parkgate Farm solar project near Braintree, Essex, from UK developer Innova Renewables.

The deal, announced on October 22, 2026, is expected to be the first of several transactions between the two companies, through which Enviromena expects to acquire 233 MWp of solar and 75 MW of co-located battery energy storage system (BESS) projects from Innova before the end of 2026.

Further acquisitions under the partnership are expected to complete in the coming weeks, adding to Enviromena's growing portfolio of CfD-backed solar projects across the UK.

Parkgate project details

Parkgate has fully consented and secured a Contract for Difference (CfD) in Allocation Round 6 (AR6). The project is expected to be energised in summer 2028. Once energised, it will generate more than 28,000 MWh of clean electricity each year, enough to power the equivalent of over 10,000 homes annually.

The project will be Enviromena's second large-scale solar farm in Essex, following the construction of its flagship 71 MWp Medebridge Solar Farm near South Ockendon, which has been operational since September 2025.

Executive commentary

Chris Marsh, CEO at Enviromena, said, "We're delighted to be working with Innova, with Parkgate marking the first milestone in a portfolio of projects that we plan to deliver together. This is a significant opportunity for both businesses, and we're looking forward to progressing the wider portfolio through construction and into operation. We've established a strong relationship with the Innova team throughout this process, and we hope this will be the foundation of a successful, long-term relationship."

Daniel Mushin, CFIO at Innova, said, "We are delighted to announce the sale of Parkgate to Enviromena. As the first project in a broader relationship between our organisations, this transaction continues Innova's success on our renewable energy pipeline and our collaborative approach to project development. We look forward to working together on future opportunities and would like to thank our advisors PKF Corporate Finance, Burges Salmon, and OWC for their support on this transaction."

Wider Enviromena activity

The acquisition comes during a period of recognition for Enviromena's activities in the UK renewables sector. Earlier in October 2026, the company's Medebridge Solar Farm partnership with the University of Manchester, EDF, Inspired, and Close Brothers won Green Collaboration of the Year at the Green Awards UK 2026.

In September 2026, Enviromena's in-house legal team was named a finalist for Team of the Year at the Young Energy Professionals (YEP) Forum Awards 2026, and the company was named Fast Riser at The Business Magazine and Insider Media's Thames Valley 250 Awards 2026.

Enviromena is headquartered at Theale Lakes Business Park in Sulhamstead, Reading, United Kingdom.
