Partners energise Larks Green solar farm

• EPC outfit GRS supplied the project which is just one of the initial PV parks to connect to the transmission system

Cero Generation as well as Enso Energy's 50MW Larks Green solar farm in the UK has actually been energised.

Larks Green, which is just one of the very first solar plants to be connected to the National Grid, was built and also energised by Spanish EPC outfit Gransolar (GRS).

The solar plant, located by National Grid's Iron Acton substation, near Bristol, is furnished with 152,400 photovoltaic panels mounted on 80 hectares.

Larks Green is the very first huge turnkey photovoltaic EPC project that GRS has actually carried out in the UK.

The company lately opened an office in London in order to work a lot more closely with partners and partners in the UK.

" The various institutions in the UK are very familiar with where the energy shift must be heading and also, in this feeling, projects such as Larks Green can make a huge payment," stated Matt Denyer, Gransolar's Country Manager in the UK.

" Additionally, companies that recognize the peculiarities of the location as well as have the capacity to adjust the projects to its requirements are very valued".

By connecting solar energy straight to the National Grid transmission grid, clean energy can be conformed a better distance as well as power can be supplied to farther locations with much less good problems for renewables.

" We're pleased to have actually partnered with Gransolar on this interesting project, leveraging their huge knowledge and global experience to bring to life a solar farm that could alter the game for the renewables market," claimed Marta Martinez Queimadelos, CEO of Cero Generation.

" By developing the country's initial solar project to connect to the transmission network, sustained by co-located battery storage, together we've accomplished a considerable action in progressing the net zero shift."
