Solar PV is one of the cheapest, fastest and most scalable ways to add new electricity generation at a time when demand is growing. The technology converts sunlight directly into power and can be deployed across different scales, from stand-alone utility-scale assets to hybrid projects combining solar with wind and battery storage.

With falling costs, modular design and mature supply chains, solar PV can be deployed quickly in fast-growing markets. CIP develops solar as part of integrated power systems, combining generation, storage, grid access and offtake to meet near-term demand and improve long-term flexibility, especially alongside wind and batteries.

Project development and delivery is supported by CIP Terra Technologies, CIP’s dedicated delivery company for land-based energy infrastructure, including solar PV, advanced bioenergy, onshore wind, and battery storage.

Offshore wind is a large-scale power generation technology suited to markets with strong wind resources, high electricity demand and limited land availability. By moving generation offshore, projects can access higher and more consistent wind speeds while supplying large volumes of clean electricity to coastal demand centres and industrial regions, supporting energy security and the wider electrification of the energy system.

Offshore wind projects are among the most complex energy infrastructure assets to develop, requiring deep capabilities across permitting, seabed conditions, grid connection, supply chains, construction planning and long-term operations.

Offshore wind projects are developed with support from Copenhagen Offshore Partners, CIP’s exclusive global offshore wind development partner, which provides specialist development, construction and operational expertise across CIP’s offshore wind portfolio.

Advanced bioenergy converts organic waste streams into renewable gas and fuels, while supporting circular resource use and energy security. Biogas and biomethane are particularly relevant because they can use existing gas infrastructure and provide a scalable domestic alternative to fossil gas.

CIP focuses on large-scale advanced bioenergy infrastructure based on sustainable feedstocks such as agricultural, household and industrial biowaste. These projects require strong capabilities across feedstock sourcing, permitting, engineering, offtake and integration with local agricultural systems. 

CIP invests in advanced bioenergy through the CI Advanced Bioenergy Funds, where the technology forms part of CIP’s broader focus on renewable gases, fuels and circular energy infrastructure. Project development and delivery is supported by CIP Terra Technologies, CIP’s dedicated delivery company for land-based energy infrastructure, including advanced bioenergy, onshore wind, solar PV and battery storage.

Power-to-X converts electricity into hydrogen and derivative products such as ammonia, methanol and other low-carbon fuels and feedstocks. These products can support sectors where direct electrification is difficult, including shipping, agriculture, steel production and industrial processes.
While the market for green molecules has developed more slowly than earlier expectations, Power-to-X remains an important long-term pathway for industrial decarbonisation, particularly in markets where regulation, offtake structures and project fundamentals support execution.

Project development and delivery is supported by CIP Molecule Technologies, CIP’s dedicated platform for Power-to-X and carbon capture, use and storage projects, combining specialised capabilities with industrial-scale execution.
