Frank Elsworth

With over 18 years of experience in the renewable energy industry, I founded ERECL (Elsworth Renewable Energy Consultancy Ltd) in 2024 to help individuals and organisations achieve their energy goals. ERECL offers comprehensive support throughout the entire project process, from initial site finding and planning to the delivery of fully operational renewable energy assets.

​

My journey began as a hydrographic surveyor, transitioning to the renewables sector in 2005 with Nuon UK. I then advanced from assistant project manager to development project manager, successfully navigating the complexities of wind farm development and securing planning consent for the Nant Bach wind farm in North Wales.

​

In 2012, I joined the East Anglia Offshore Wind project, focusing on the consenting process and later ensuring compliance with planning conditions during construction. I then moved to onshore construction, firstly as the interface manager and then becoming the construction manager for the £400m 226MW Pen-y-Cymoedd wind farm. During this project I oversaw the various work packages, including the 400kV transmission grid connection and 22MW BESS.

​

In 2017 I became Head of Construction Management in onshore wind and by 2019, I was leading a team as the Head of Market Development for Onshore Wind in the UK, significantly expanding the development portfolio.

​

At ERECL we leverage this extensive experience to guide clients through every stage of their renewable energy projects ensuring successful outcomes and maximising value.
