Both projects are located near Wakefield in West Yorkshire, and the transactions were completed in December 2025.
New Hall Solar Farm is a 22.2MW consented solar photovoltaic project that has been developed from early-stage site identification through to planning consent. The project has been designed with a strong focus on environmental stewardship, incorporating biodiversity enhancements and a landscape-led approach alongside renewable power generation.
Downing has also acquired the entire shareholding in Low Farm Solar Farm, a 49.9MW consented solar project, completing BOOM Power’s exit following its development and investment phase.
The acquisitions align with Downing’s long-term investment strategy, which focuses on building and managing high-quality renewable energy assets that deliver stable returns while supporting the UK’s transition to a low-carbon energy system.
