About us
Proposals for East Park Energy are being developed by Brockwell Storage and Solar, formerly known as RNA Energy.
RNA Energy was acquired by Brockwell Energy in March 2024. Our aim is to develop our pipeline of solar and battery storage projects, contribute to Brockwell Energy’s goal of developing 5 gigawatts of installed renewable generation capacity by 2030, and to support the UK’s transition to Net Zero.

This includes job creation, land restoration, public access, recreational opportunities and ecological enhancement.
