RES group submitted planning application for 50MW solar farm in Hertfordshire

RES Group has submitted a planning application for a 50 MW Beane Solar Farm located on land west of Cottered Village, in Hertfordshire, UK.

The solar farm has been designed to be used for agricultural grazing, and the landscape design includes the addition of wildlife corridors, native hedgerows, and wildflower meadows to support local flora and fauna. The strong levels of solar irradiation expected on the site would see the project being capable of generating up to 49.9MW of clean, low-cost renewable electricity, enough to power approximately 15,000 homes and offset over 760,000 tonnes of CO2 over its 40-year operational lifetime.
