OnPath Energy has reported a £22.7m operating profit, with the Sunderland-headquartered firm recording a turnover of £73m.

The healthy results leaves the company on track to achieve its ambition of investing more than £1bn in clean energy projects over the next five year as it works towards becoming the UK’s leading onshore renewables developer.

Having built 14 onshore wind farms across the UK, the company is growing its development pipeline and expects to bring forward several new project proposals in England in the coming months, while it is currently exploring a range of potential new development locations across England, Scotland and Wales.

Simon Fisher, CFO at OnPath Energy, says: “In the coming months, we will add another 73MW capacity to our operating portfolio with the energisation of Mill Rig Wind Farm in South Lanarkshire and the Barnsdale Solar Park in West Yorkshire, with the commissioning of the Common Farm Solar Park in South Yorkshire then set to follow.”
