Following consent for the 49.9MW solar farm in October 2024, RES is now preparing for construction of the project which will be capable of generating clean, low-cost electricity for around 15,000 homes every year as well as delivering a significant biodiversity net gain. A host of biodiversity enhancement measures will be implemented including the planting of some 2.5km of new species-rich hedgerow.

Preparation is currently underway to commence construction of the solar farm. Further information will be available on this website soon.
