Innova's Solar Trio: UK Approvals Pave the Way

Feb 7, 2024 01:56 PM ET
  • Innova's latest solar projects in England and Scotland will power over 16,000 homes, with the largest farm in East Suffolk generating electricity for 6,292 local households.

UK solar and energy storage developer Innova has been granted planning permissions for three solar projects totaling 61.5 MW in England and Scotland. The largest project is a 25-MW photovoltaic (PV) farm in East Suffolk, England, which will generate electricity for 6,292 local homes. Innova also secured consent for a 22.5-MW solar park in Essex, England, following a successful appeal hearing. In Scotland, the company received approval for a 14-MW solar farm in the Angus District, which will supply electricity to around 3,800 local homes.

The planning application for the East Suffolk project was submitted in November 2022, and the project in Essex went through an appeal process after the local council failed to issue a determination within the required timeframe. Innova estimates that the three projects combined will generate electricity for over 16,000 local homes once they are operational.
