About us
Kingsway Solar is being promoted by Kingsway Solar Farm Limited, a subsidiary of Downing Renewable Developments (DRD).
DRD was founded by Downing LLP (Downing) to deliver solar, battery storage, and onshore wind projects across the UK and Europe.
Downing has been investing in renewables since 2010 and has significant experience in owning and operating renewable energy, battery storage, and other infrastructure across the UK and Nordics.
In September 2022, Downing completed certification for becoming a B Corporation, which means it meets the high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.
As a responsible developer, DRD is progressing an approximate 6 gigawatt (GW) pipeline of projects across the UK helping to deliver a low-carbon energy future for the country. DRD’s approach is to own, develop and manage these projects throughout their full lifecycle, rather than selling to a third party operator once development consent has been granted.
For Kingsway Solar, this means Kingsway Solar Farm Limited would be responsible for the Scheme during the pre-application, construction and operational stages, as well as during its decommissioning. This approach ensures we can develop the best Scheme possible, including through consultation on the proposals with local stakeholders and communities.
