EDF confirmed that it will hold public consultation events later this year to gather feedback on the plans ahead of the submission of a planning application to Cornwall Council. Ecological and feasibility surveys of the site are already being carried out.

The solar project included a 30-year power purchase agreement (PPA) between both companies and would deliver 5,307 MWh of electricity per year.
