Under this partnership, Bute will continue to lead the renewable project development activities, while CIP will offer its knowledge of procurement and financing for the projects.

The first projects are scheduled to enter their construction phase in 2024.

Going forward, the companies will begin consultations with stakeholders and local communities aligned with the planning process for ‘developments of national significance’ in Wales.

Bute Energy chairman Erik Bonino said: “We are delighted to be partnering with CIP.

“This investment will allow us to accelerate the development of our portfolio and bring significant supply chain and economic benefits to Wales.

“Our first onshore wind planning application will be made in the summer of 2022 for the Twyn Hywel Energy Park, located largely within a Pre-Assessed Area for Wind Energy in Southeast Wales.”

Earlier this month, CIP agreed to develop the first phase of Project Catalina, a green hydrogen and ammonia project in Spain, in partnership with Vestas, Naturgy, Enagás and Fertiberia.
