Lightrock Power is an international developer specializing in utility-scale solar and battery storage projects. The company is dedicated to creating renewable energy infrastructure while prioritizing environmental stewardship and robust community engagement. Lightrock Power focuses on delivering projects that not only supply clean energy but also actively contribute to local ecology, economic vitality, and community well-being.

The company distinguishes itself through a proactive approach to community involvement, adapting project plans based on local feedback rather than merely fulfilling a 'tick-box' exercise. Examples include establishing permanent passing places for traffic, reducing visual impact by redesigning project footprints in sensitive areas, re-routing construction traffic to avoid villages, and implementing flood attenuation measures in response to local concerns.

Furthermore, Lightrock Power is deeply committed to developing wildlife-friendly solar farms. They collaborate with prominent conservation organizations such as the RSPB, UK Wild Otter Trust, Barn Owl Trust, Bumblebee Conservation Trust, Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, and Buglife. These partnerships ensure that their developments enhance biodiversity through habitat improvements like installing beehives, bird boxes, and planting community orchards. Founded in 2017, Lightrock Power was established to maximize the broader benefits associated with solar projects, ensuring that all project promises are legally binding obligations within their planning applications.
