Cero Generation and Enso Energy open UK's first transmission-connected solar farm

A 49.9MW solar farm, owned and operated by Cero Generation and Enso Energy, will be the first in the country to feed electricity directly into the transmission network.

European specialist Cero Generation together with its UK development partner Enso Energy will open the solar farm alongside a 49.5MW battery energy storage system, maximising the efficiency of the site and allowing a greater output of clean energy.

Located just outside of Bristol, in South Gloucestershire, this project will provide a clean, secure and cheaper power source for the local community and has a biodiversity net gain, providing shelter and food for a range of protected species.
