egg Power secures fourth and largest UK renewable energy project with Chirmorie wind farm acquisition
egg Power, Liberty Global’s clean energy infrastructure investment business, has acquired the project rights to Chirmorie Wind Farm in South Ayrshire, Scotland from Coriolis Energy and Electricity Supply Board (ESB).
The acquisition marks egg Power’s fourth UK renewable energy project rights acquisition and its first since securing a £400m construction debt-financing facility in December 2025.
As a wholly-owned part of Liberty Growth – Liberty Global’s investment arm focused on scalable technology, media, sports, services and infrastructure – egg Power is strategically positioned to meet the accelerating clean energy needs of telecoms operators, digital infrastructure providers and other energy‑intensive industries. This demand is being driven by the surge in AI adoption and exponential growth in data usage, heightening the need for reliable, sustainable power at scale.
Work is progressing at pace to ensure construction can start on the project later this year, with power generation beginning in 2028. Once operational, it will generate 275,000 megawatt hours of clean energy a year – reducing grid CO2 emissions by more than 120,000 tonnes annually.
Other projects in egg Power’s portfolio include Grange, a 70 MW solar farm acquired in December 2025, Rainsbrook, a 20 MW solar farm acquired in July 2025 and Rag Lane, a 52 MW solar farm acquired in November 2024 and due to begin operating in spring 2026. Together, these three projects represent 140 MW of clean energy capacity, and are expected to generate around 150 GWh a year from 2027.
Ilesh Patel, who leads the egg Power business at Liberty Global, said: “Chirmorie is our first onshore wind project and our largest acquisition to date. It represents a key milestone in our journey towards a greener future as we develop, build, own and operate projects and services to provide low-cost clean energy to our customers through Corporate Power Purchase Agreements. Onshore wind has an incredibly important role to play alongside other renewable energy technologies as part of a lower carbon future. Coriolis Energy and ESB have left the project in a great position for us to bring it online in 2028 and we look forward to progressing it further in the next few months.”
egg Power’s projects, which leverage Liberty Global’s expertise in financing large-scale infrastructure, investing in scale-up businesses and serving B2B customers, will also deliver tangible local benefits. These include creating jobs during construction and operations, sourcing from local supply chains, ecological improvements such as planting native grasslands and wildflower meadows, reinforcing hedgerows and establishing habitat strips on site.
