Edinburgh Scotland, Scotland, United Kingdom Nadara Full time

About the Company

Nadara’s strength comes from our wonderfully diverse people, proud moments, and pioneering initiatives, combining to give us a history that empowers our present and elevates our ambitions. Two of Europe’s sector-leading renewable energy generators, Renantis and Ventient Energy, came together to form Nadara.

The Group has an installed capacity of 4.2 GW between wind, solar, biomass and storage systems, for about 200 plants in Europe and the USA.

Moreover, over the next 10 years, Nadara's development pipeline includes as much as 18 GW.


In Nadara, we work harmoniously with the power of nature and the communities around us to power lifetimes to come. We call our approach ‘living energy’.

We don’t just produce renewable energy, we live it – recognizing our relationship with the people touched by our business and supporting social, educational, cultural, and environmental initiatives that contribute to the development of the communities we work alongside.


Nadara is an innovative place to work.
