Projects

Lightsource bp solar projects around the world
Our utility scale solar projects provide utilities, businesses and local communities with affordable and sustainable power. These solar projects help decarbonise energy systems, and provide security of supply.
Innovative advances in solar technology and development continue to increase the value added benefits of utility scale solar like combining agricultural practices on land use (agrivoltaics) and enhancing local biodiversity. You can find out more about our global solar projects below.
