Carlton Power Limited

Carlton Power Limited is an independent UK-based energy development company formed in 1995 and headquartered in Stokesley, North Yorkshire, with additional offices in Edinburgh. The company has a proven track record of developing energy infrastructure projects in the UK and Europe, including the delivery of over 2,200 MW of high-efficiency combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) facilities, which accounted for a notable share of the UK's gas-fired generation capacity at the time.

In recent years, Carlton Power has pivoted its strategy to support the UK's net zero ambitions by focusing on renewable and low-carbon technologies. Its core activities encompass the development of green hydrogen production hubs using proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis, photovoltaic solar parks, and battery energy storage systems, including lithium-ion and cryogenic technologies. The firm operates as an integrated developer, owner, and operator, handling all project phases from planning, permitting, and procurement through to financing, construction, and ongoing operations. It also maintains a carbon management business offering carbon credits for voluntary offsetting.

Carlton Power is recognized as a leading developer of electrolytic hydrogen projects in the UK. Key initiatives include the Barrow Green Hydrogen Project (30 MW) in Cumbria, Trafford Green Hydrogen in Greater Manchester, and Langage Green Hydrogen near Plymouth, all supported under the government's Hydrogen Allocation Round 1 (HAR1). These projects are advanced via the Green Hydrogen Energy Company (GHECO) joint venture with Schroders Greencoat. The company targets a significant UK hydrogen portfolio and contributes to grid flexibility through storage solutions while supporting industrial decarbonization for offtakers such as Kimberly-Clark and others.
