Today’s renewable energy news includes announcements from Bute Energy, Twyn Hywel Onshore Wind Project, Enova, and others.
Bute Energy Secures CfD for 924-MW Twyn Hywel Onshore Wind Project
Bute Energy has secured a Contract for Difference (CfD) for its 924-MW Twyn Hywel onshore wind project, marking one of the largest onshore wind awards in the latest UK allocation round. The CfD provides long-term revenue certainty, enabling the large-scale project to progress toward financing and construction while shielding consumers from wholesale power price volatility. Twyn Hywel will deliver significant volumes of low-cost, renewable electricity, strengthening UK energy security and supporting national net-zero targets. The project is expected to drive substantial investment, job creation, and supply-chain activity, particularly in Wales. For the power system, the wind farm will help displace fossil generation and stabilise long-term electricity costs. The award underlines the growing role of CfD-backed onshore wind in scaling clean energy capacity across the UK.
Enova Sets 3-GW Capacity Target Under New Growth Strategy
Enova has unveiled a new strategy targeting the development of 3 GW of renewable energy capacity, signalling an ambitious expansion of its clean power portfolio. The plan focuses on scaling onshore wind, solar, and hybrid projects, supported by disciplined capital allocation and long-term offtake arrangements. The strategy reflects rising demand for cost-competitive, low-carbon electricity and growing policy support across European markets. For customers and grid operators, Enova’s pipeline will deliver reliable renewable supply, improved energy security, and emissions reductions. The target also implies substantial investment and supply-chain activity, supporting jobs and regional development. Enova’s roadmap underscores the accelerating build-out of utility-scale renewables and positions the company to play a larger role in Europe’s energy transition and net-zero pathway.
Industry Welcomes AR7a as UK Boosts Renewable Energy Investment
The UK renewable energy industry has welcomed the AR7a allocation round, describing it as a significant investment boost for clean energy projects across the country. The latest Contracts for Difference (CfD) round is expected to unlock new onshore wind, solar, and emerging renewable capacity, providing long-term revenue certainty for developers and investors. Industry bodies said the move sends a strong signal of policy stability, encouraging private capital, accelerating project pipelines, and supporting supply-chain growth. For consumers, AR7a-backed projects are set to deliver low-cost, low-carbon electricity, helping shield bills from fossil fuel price volatility. The investment boost also supports jobs, regional development, and energy security, reinforcing the role of CfDs in driving the UK’s net-zero transition and long-term power system resilience
