“ We’ re well underway with our wind park, which will supplement the existing Dragon Renewables Park. We commissioned 20,000 solar panels to our Renewables Park in 2023, which generates around ten megawatts of
energy when the sun is shining, and the wind turbines will provide another 13 and a half megawatts. The three wind turbines will be positioned within the solar park itself and will arrive on site next January,” Simon enthuses.
“ The project is progressing really well and we’ re very proud to be working with Enercon and Knights Brown. We signed the supply agreement for the wind turbines with Enercon earlier this year. They’ ve been great – both at a leadership and ground team level – at progressing those commercial arrangements and ensuring that the delivery of the turbines stays on track.

With these major projects and initiatives underway, it’ s evident that Dragon LNG continues to be a company defined by impact – an illustration of infrastructural excellence across the UK’ s energy sector. Looking ahead into 2026, the company aims to have officially launched its capacity auction process following its completed market consultation, whilst bringing its three new wind turbines into operation. On a wider scope, Dragon is set to remain a key player in the market, recognized for its vast sustainability efforts as it edges evercloser to its net-zero goal.
“ We’ ve got an exciting future ahead. Once we sign the contracts with new customers, we’ ll be able to sit down with them and discuss how they can best utilize our capacity and where we can focus future investments. As mentioned, we’ re investing a lot into this plant in regards to life extension work as well as decarbonization projects, and, as LNG becomes more widely utilized across the world, we expect to see volumes increase over the next ten years through the Milford Haven Access Point,” Simon affirms, optimistic for the future.
“ We strongly believe that gas has an important place in the UK’ s energy mix, particularly in terms of ensuring that energy remains affordable for customers,” he says, concluding our conversation.“ I think that the UK has a bright future, as do we, as part of that energy security and affordability. The future is what will make the economy boom, and we’ re confident that we’ ll also see further growth as a result.” ■
