A UK-based solar energy company is to commission an Essex solar farm that could power nearly 3,000 homes.
Lightsource Renwable Energy will commission and connect the solar farm south-west of Little Bardfield Village with Push Energy.
The venture will be spread over 19 hectres of land, with an installed capacity of 10 megawatts-peak.
It is thought the farm will power 2,900 homes while the carbon savings will be equal to removing 1,000 family-sized cars from the road.
Kareen Boutonnat, managing director for Lightsource, said: “We are delighted to partner with Push Energy on delivering this project. Our best offering to local developers is that they can be assured we already have secured finance and we have an established in-house team of over 320 full time professionals, on hand, to deliver the project immediately.”
Lightsource contracted specialist EPC contractor, Biosar Aktor to construct this solar farm and the company will be retained on an operation and maintenance contract for the next two years.
