How we do it
Our ethical approach to business development
Starlight’s business model involves full control over each stage of the development process and the oversight of each step required in order to obtain all the authorisations needed to achieve the ready-to-build status and prepare the renewable energy assets for construction and operation.
All the development activities from land scouting, through projects design and obtainment of all the required authorisations are managed by in-house dedicated teams of technicians, financiers and lawyers.
Starlight places high regard on aspects such as local community engagement, biodiversity net-gain initiatives and landscape and agricultural integration with renewable energy assets installation when deciding which development initiatives to undertake.
Starlight has a proven business model for the development of new assets, which levers its existing relationships across tier-1 contractors, grid operators and local/central authorities. Close engagement with grid operators and contractors at the right time enables Starlight to optimize timelines and costs.
Development approach is directed across separate divisions, with tailor-made strategies across the key technologies and geographies to deal with local grid and permitting requirements.

Our Sustainability Policy
Good governance is a critical enabler of companies’ abilities to generate long-term returns which are both risk-sound and benefit society. This is why it is one of the three levers which we use to integrate NextEnergy Group’s Sustainability Framework.
Starlight’s sustainability and ESG activities are governed by a Starlight Sustainability Policy. The Policy aligns with NextEnergy Group’s Sustainability Policies, which establish our principles and commitments to the priority areas of the Group’s Framework: People, Nature and Prosperity.
