The proposed solar power project, which will be constructed on around 120 acres of land at Sycamore Farm, will employ around 73,000 solar panels, each having a capacity of 245W each.
Commenting on the project, BNRG Renewables director David Maguire said the proposed solar power project is one of the largest in the UK and is assumed to be a near perfect site by the company’s team, as it has above average solar resource and minimum landscape visual impact.
BNRG programme manager Tom Brinicombe told the BBC, "We have worked proactively to incorporate feedback from stakeholders and local residents into our plans and have had positive feedback on the application as a result, with fewer than 10 letters of objection.
"We remain committed to ensuring that as well as generating a significant amount of renewable energy, this project will also be well-screened and will increase local biodiversity.
"We hope to commence construction in the near future and will remain available to local residents throughout the construction period."
BNRG Renewables operates as a renewable energy projects development company. It develops solar photovoltaic projects. The company has projects in the United Kingdom, Bulgaria, and Greece.
