The 55-megawatt peak solar project in West Yorkshire, UK, was awarded a fixed-price, consumer price index-linked government-backed contract for difference, or CfD, until 2041, according to a Wednesday release. The renewables infrastructure company's acquisition is subject to the site meeting conditions ahead of the CfD commencement deadline, which are expected to be met in March 2027.
