nationally significant infrastructure project

MPs have this week spoken out about the development of large-scale solar PV, citing concerns over food security, biodiversity and supply chains.

Two coal power stations in the east midlands – Cottam and West Burton – are now to be home to solar PV with a combined capacity of over 1GW.

Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners has acquired the 350MW Cleve Hill solar-plus-storage site in Kent, UK, with this expected to be the largest single site PV install in the UK once completed.

New guidance on solar PV has been proposed by the government as part of its review into the energy National Policy Statements (NPSs).

BayWa r.e. is planning the development of a 163MW solar project in South Derbyshire.
