CEL is a specialist development platform, focussing primarily on grid-scale Battery Energy Storage Schemes (BESS) and renewable energy projects in the UK. Our projects and investments aim to facilitate, and help to solve the challenges associated with, decarbonisation of the power sector.

Our team has extensive experience in project development having secured projects for investment across major international owner operators and IPP’s. Through extensive collaboration with supply chain, construction and operational teams, funding entities and investment committees, we have a deep understanding for the requirements of successful and investable projects.

Since launching in 2021, CEL has demonstrated its ability to deliver high quality projects ready to build and deliver services to the electricity network and customers. CEL has developed and concluded transactions on multiple grid-scale projects, including a 60MWhr BESS scheme which is scheduled to energise in late 2024. We have also concluded a transaction for the early-stage development of a large transmission-connected BESS.

We have a systematic and methodical approach to development with a focus on deliverability, investability and risk management. By controlling and mitigating risk across all phases, we aim to reduce the complexity and timescales involved in reaching financial close.

CEL are in growth mode and, alongside our partnerships with capable and influential consultants and advisors, we are building an industry leading team to deliver our objectives.

Inspiration And Ambition

We are inspired by the past but look to the future in solving the unique energy challenges of our generation.

Cragside draws inspiration from the pioneers and innovators that went before us. Lord Armstrong, a Victorian Inventor and natural science enthusiast, propelled the Northumberland manor “Cragside” into our history books by creating the first house in the world to be lit by hydroelectricity. This captures the essence of the modern challenge- harnessing and integrating renewable energy to create a sustainable, resilient and cost-effective energy system.
