Renewable energy firm RES has secured a contract with the UK’s first solar farm to feed electricity directly into the transmission network.
The firm will provide asset management for Larks Green Solar Farm, a 49.9MW project in South Gloucestershire, owned and operated by European company Cero Generation and its UK development partner Enso Energy.
The first-of-its-kind solar and battery project in Iron Acton, which was fully energised last month, is designed to to generate over 73,000MWh annually – enough to power more than 17,300 homes – while displacing 20,500 tons of CO2 each year.
