UK: Gwynt Glas Offshore Wind Farm – Celtic Sea

DP Energy Ireland is developing a 300MW floating offshore wind energy project located between the West Wales and South West coastline.

Site research and detailed studies have resulted in the identification of an area of interest. This site is being investigated by remote aerial surveys for marine mammal and bird activity.

DP Energy has started engagement with key stakeholders and is commencing wide consultation with all interested parties. Consultations will include the offshore area which is approximately 70km from the shore.

A project website is currently under development and will be made available here once complete.

Ireland: Latitude 52 Offshore Wind Farm – Co. Wicklow and Wexford

DP Energy Ireland is investigating the feasibility of developing a ~1GW offshore wind energy project off the east coast of Ireland, the Latitude 52 Offshore Wind Farm.

It is intended to carry out site investigations within the project area, potential export cable corridors and landfall areas to assess the site and associated seabed.

Australia: Callide Wind Farm – Queensland

The proposed Callide Wind Farm project has the potential for an installed wind turbine capacity of some 430MW and is located approximately 22km north north-east of Biloela and 75km west south-west of Gladstone.”

This project is in the early stages of the development process. Consultation with key stakeholders, resource modelling, and site assessments have commenced.

Further details can be found at the project website here.

N. Ireland: Fair Head Tidal Energy Park – North Antrim Coast

The project is adjacent to a second 100MW project being developed by Tidal Ventures Limited (TVL).

It is expected that the two projects together will export up to 200MW of renewable energy to the Northern Irish grid over the coming decade.

Canada: Prairie Solar Park – Alberta

The proposed 25MW distribution system connected solar PV project is located near Milo in Alberta. The project will be developed on a greenfield site. An option to lease the land was executed with the land owner in August 2018.

Next steps:

  • The Development Permit Application is targeted for submission in Q2 2020 and the Alberta Utility Commission (AUC) application process will be followed shortly thereafter.

Canada: Barlow Solar Park- Alberta

DP Energy is developing two adjacent solar projects on brownfield sites in Southeast Calgary with a combined generation capacity of 64 MW.

Barlow Solar Park is the first of two adjacent solar projects being developed in Southeast Calgary on capped phosphogypsum stacks owned by Viterra Inc. Solar power generation offers a productive use of the sites that would otherwise have limited development potential. The projects will use a ballasted foundation system to ensure the integrity of the stacks are maintained and the clear, level surfaces of the sites offer an excellent installation platform.

Land Use Redesignation and Development Permit approvals were granted by the City of Calgary for the project in 2019 and the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) approval followed in 2020.

Canada: Deerfoot Solar Park – Alberta

DP Energy is developing two adjacent solar projects on brownfield sites in Southeast Calgary with a combined generation capacity of 64 MW.

Deerfoot Solar is the second of two adjacent solar projects being developed in Southeast Calgary on capped phosphogypsum stacks owned by Viterra Inc. Solar power generation offers a productive use of the sites that would otherwise have limited development potential. The projects will use a ballasted foundation system to ensure the integrity of the stacks are maintained and the clear, level surfaces of the sites offer an excellent installation platform.

Land Use Redesignation and Development Permit Applications were submitted to the City of Calgary on January 29, 2021.

Australia: Desailly Renewable Energy Park – Queensland

The Desailly project forms a sizeable combined Solar and Wind energy hybrid project in the north of Queensland comprising some 250MW of solar PV and 300MW of wind turbines. It is expected that the project will incorporate significant battery storage in order to optimise utilisation of the grid export route.

The wind and solar resource, and potential grid export options are under evaluation whilst further ecological surveys are underway and planned.
