WEST COUNTRY RENEWABLES LIMITED
Company number 07329220 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
West Country Renewables is a community energy SPV operating solar and wind assets under legacy Feed-in Tariff contracts, controlled by Community Power Cornwall. The company has moved into technical insolvency (net liabilities of £6,028) following a £35,797 loss in 2024, reversing the prior year's £16,426 profit—a deterioration driven by depreciation and finance costs on £565k of intercompany debt. However, the community ownership structure provides patient capital unlikely to be called in, and the underlying generation assets continue to produce cash (£108k cash balance, up year-on-year). The company's long-term viability depends on maintaining generation revenue sufficient to service its fixed cost base over the remaining 10-15 year asset life, though its single-director governance and aging infrastructure present ongoing risks typical of the community energy sector.
