Ecotricity and Skanska are forming a joint venture, called Skylark, to build wind farm projects in Britain. Skylark will draw on the expertise of Ecotricity in developing green energy projects through planning, while Skanska will utilise their expertise in construction and engineering.
The joint venture will aim to put 350MW of new green energy projects into planning system in the first 5 years, which would represent a potential investment of GBP 500 million should the projects be consented. Three development sites have already been identified for Skylark’s first round of investment, representing around 100MW of generating capacity, with the target of delivering new renewable energy capacity for Britain as early as 2018.
