Fuse Energy is a new integrated energy supplier launched by alumni from Revolut, Tesla and Voltalia. The two solar parks are the first in Fuse Energy’s portfolio of renewable energy projects.
HEUKS acquired the two projects in a strategic move to ensure the ongoing growth and development of the projects. As the end-to-end solutions provider, Ethical Power redesigned, optimised and built the solar farms. Both projects will be looked after by Ethical Power’s operations and maintenance team.
The two solar parks in detail
The 5.1-megawatt Netley North solar park was energised in December 2022. Netley North repurposes a landfill site that would otherwise have little use. It is part of the Netley complex consisting of two solar parks with a shared grid connection. Its sister site was also built by Ethical Power and sold back in 2017.
The 12.1-megawatt Bullous Park solar farm was energised in April 2022 under the name of Two Post Cross and, in 2023, was renamed to Bullous Park. Although a greenfield development, it came with its own challenges due to its topography and a stream crossing the site. The solar farm is fully operational with dual-purpose agricultural use for sheep grazing.

The two solar farms will generate a total of approx. 17.5 gigawatt hours per year supporting Fuse Energy’s plans of supplying households and businesses directly with renewable electricity under the cheapest tariff in the UK.
Fuse Energy say they will reinvest 100% of their profits into renewable projects around the world and intend to build a pipeline of 2 gigawatts of solar by 2025. (mfo)
