A solar farm with the capacity to supply clean, renewable energy for 16,000 homes is being proposed for land east of Hull.
Beverley-based developer Gamcap has submitted a planning application for the 49MW scheme between the villages of Preston and Bilton. It is on land beside an existing operation, bordered by Neat Marsh Road, Wyton Road, and Old Fleet drain.
The solar farm, called the Wyton Road Renewable Energy Project, would also feature an advanced battery energy storage system with a capacity rating of up to 20MVA, helping balance renewable supply to the grid.
