Cubico unveils Scout Moor II: 100 MW wind project

Cubico Sustainable Investments has announced Scout Moor II, a proposed 100 MW onshore wind project in England, situated near the existing Scout Moor wind farm between Edenfield, Rawtenstall, and Rochdale. 

With planning approval, Scout Moor II could begin operations by 2030, delivering renewable electricity to over 100,000 homes and covering around 10 per cent of Greater Manchester’s residential energy needs.

Cubico also plans to create a Community Wealth Fund and a Moorland Restoration and Management Plan to support local community initiatives and enhance biodiversity. Currently managing 250 MW of wind and solar projects in the UK, Cubico is investing £300 million across sustainable energy projects as part of its commitment to the UK’s green energy transition.

In February 2024, Cubico partnered with Italy’s Storaltil Srl to develop over 1 GW of battery energy storage systems across Italy.
