Boralex acquires 59 MW of onshore wind developments in UK from Marubeni and Infinergy

Boralex acquired two onshore wind project developments in the UK with a combined capacity of 59 MW, strengthening its renewable energy portfolio. The acquisition includes the 25 MW Upper Ogmore Wind Farm in South Wales and a 75% majority stake in the 34 MW Tom na Clach Extension in the Scottish Highlands. Upper Ogmore, previously owned by Marubeni, secured a 20-year Contract for Difference in Allocation Round 7 and is expected to connect to the grid in 2029. The Tom na Clach Extension, developed by Infinergy with Colin Cawdor retaining a minority stake, was consented in May 2024 and targets commercial operation around 2030. This strategic move supports the transition to a low-carbon energy system and aims to deliver reliable, affordable clean energy while creating economic opportunities for local communities.
