Sembcorp said the Manah Solar II IPP is not expected to impact the company’s earnings per share, net asset value per share or leverage for the current fiscal year.

The battery project is claimed to be Europe’s largest and will help the UK meet its net-zero goals.

It will be built in tranches on land already owned by Sembcorp with established connectivity, allowing batteries to be installed quickly.
