Anesco has secured planning approval from Amber Valley Borough Council and North East Derbyshire District to develop a 20 MW solar farm in Derbyshire, the UK.

The 94-acre site in Alfreton is located on low-grade grazing land and will generate enough green electricity to power 5,000 homes while saving over 4,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per annum. Its construction is expected to take around 27 weeks.

Once complete, the solar farm will be operational for 40 years, after which time the panels and infrastructure will be removed and the land returned to agricultural use.
