Who we are

We are a global developer, constructor and operator of onshore renewables and energy storage solutions — a 50/50 joint venture with bp PLC, with operations across the Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East. We work with landowners, utilities, corporates and communities to deliver responsible, long-life renewable infrastructure that benefits the land and the grid.

06Service times Reframed

service-times → project-pipeline-stats

For a global utility-scale developer, the canonical "service times" pattern reframes as the project-pipeline / GW-deployed stat strip — what schedules a B2C church operates is what GW pipeline an IPP delivers. See sig-pipeline-stats below.

Our story

From a London startup to a global IPP, in 14 years.

Lightsource was founded in London in 2010 by Nick Boyle. The original premise was simple: utility-scale solar, done well, would scale faster than anyone in the industry expected — but only if it was done by an integrated team that owned development, construction, and asset management end-to-end, rather than handing projects off between specialists.

"We're not just building solar farms. We're building the long-life infrastructure that decarbonizes a country's grid for the next 35 years."

By 2017 the bet was clear. bp PLC acquired a 43% stake in 2017 and increased it to 50% in 2018, creating the joint venture that exists today. By 2024, bp had moved to fully integrate Lightsource into its consolidated business — but Lightsource bp continues to operate as the renewables-development-and-operations arm of the global bp group, with its own management, brand, and project-financing model.

Today we have a multi-gigawatt operational portfolio, a deeper development pipeline, and active operations across 19 countries on four continents.

12Beliefs / values list

beliefs-list

Two-column values grid with a magenta-orange pulse-bar marker before each value-name. Brand's natural use: company values, ESG principles, project-development standards.

What we believe

Land that pays back

Every site we develop should leave the land more biodiverse, more productive, and more useful to its community than we found it.

Long-life infrastructure

We build projects designed to operate for 35 years, with the same crew accountable through O&M and repower.

Integrated teams

Development, construction, and asset management are the same team. The PM who builds it is the PM who operates it.

Local decision-making

Project-level decisions are made in the country where the project sits — not at headquarters.

13CTA band

cta-band

Full-bleed gradient call-to-action band. The bp Pulse magenta-orange gradient is THE signature CTA surface — anywhere we want a section to read as "bp Pulse" the gradient is the cue.

Demo

Have land? Want to host a solar farm?

We work with landowners on long-term lease agreements that pay reliable per-acre rent for 35 years.

14Ways to give Reframed

ways-to-give → partner-with-us

Demo

Landowner frequently asked questions

How long is a typical lease?
35 years standard, with extension options. The lease covers development, construction, the full operating life, and decommissioning at end-of-term.
What rent is typical per acre?
Lease rates vary by region, grid-connection value, and land grade — but they're typically 5-10× what the same acres would generate from a row-crop or pasture rotation.
Can I still graze livestock?
Often yes. Sheep grazing is well-established under Lightsource bp panels in the UK, USA, and Spain. We design panel-spacing and racking heights with agrivoltaic compatibility in mind.
What happens at end-of-term?
All equipment is removed at our cost; the site is restored to pre-installation grade. Topsoil, drainage, and fence-lines are returned to original condition.

21Accordion · flush

accordion-v1

Hairline-divided accordion (no card chrome). Used for FAQ-style content where the chrome should disappear and let the text dominate.

Demo
A PPA is a long-term contract between a renewables developer and a buyer (utility, corporate, or industrial off-taker) that fixes the electricity price for the contract term — typically 10-35 years.
A corporate PPA is a direct contract between Lightsource bp and a corporate buyer; a utility PPA is with a regulated electric utility. Corporate PPAs often include hourly matching and additionality requirements.
PPAs include the underlying RECs / GOOs (renewable energy certificates / guarantees of origin). Voluntary carbon credits are a separate financial instrument.

Biodiversity · SDG 15

Every UK site is seeded with native wildflower meadows. Sheep grazing is integrated where appropriate. Pollinator counts increase 200-400% within 24 months on our planted sites.

Communities · SDG 8

Each project includes a community-benefit fund (~$1-3M typical) for local infrastructure, education, or environmental programs decided by elected community representatives.

"Lightsource bp's team was on-site for every milestone. The same PM that scoped the project at our greenfield site was the PM that handed me operating performance reports six years later. That continuity is rare."

Sarah LinEnergy Procurement Director · Fortune 100 manufacturer

"They restored more of the field to native habitat than they took out of it. The pollinator counts are up. The sheep are healthier. The lease pays five times what wheat does. It's the best deal I've made in 30 years of farming."
