UK developer Lightsource BP, already with a solar PV portfolio of 2GW, is moving to expand its global reach by entering new geographies and capitalising on its new partners’ international presence.

Group chief operating officer, Kareen Boutonnat, told Recharge about the importance of having the support of oil and gas supermajor BP, which last year returned to the renewables sector with a $200m investment in Lightsource.
