North Yorkshire real estate firm joins UK’s “green revolution” with new partnership

A property specialist in North Yorkshire has partnered with a Danish firm to deliver a portfolio of solar panel projects across the UK.

Norstar has teamed up with green energy company European Energy to deliver a range of nationwide solar PV (photovoltaics) projects.

Launched in 2011, Easingwold-based Norstar specialises in property development services for renewable energy projects, largely in the north of England.

Rufus Salter, director of Norstar, commented: “We are proud to be playing our part in the UK’s green energy revolution.

“We are currently developing over a dozen solar farms with European Energy, mainly in Yorkshire, the North East and Lincolnshire and are actively looking to support European Energy’s investment in many more. Ideal sites for solar are rural farmland of 50 acres or more available for a 30-year lease.”

Daniel Badcock, managing director of European Energy Development Limited, added: “We are delighted to be working together with Norstar on this Solar PV portfolio and we are proud to be supporting green business in the North of England from our own Manchester office.

“Norstar understands how important landowner and community relationships are to us, and is an ideal partner to align our development capability with those seeking ethical, long-term income from land diversification.”
