Solarcentury seeks development approval for Elwy Solar Energy Farm
Solarcentury plans to build the 62 MWp Elwy Solar Energy Farm near St. Asaph in Denbighshire, Wales with the development permit submitted for review to the Planning Inspectorate in Cardiff.
The application, which is classed as a Development of National Significance (DNS), will be reviewed with various consultations to be conducted including Denbighshire County Council, where the development is proposed. The Ministry for Housing and Local Government is expected to deliver the final decision before the end of 2021.
The land identified for the solar farm is north of the A55 North Wales Expressway and west of the A525 and has been carefully chosen for its potential to deliver high levels of solar-powered electricity to the grid. With a solar project of up to 62 MWp proposed, the site would generate approximately 60-gigawatt hours of electricity per year, enough to power over 20,000 homes. Solarcentury is also proposing to install batteries at the site – to increase the flexibility of the solar farm and provide support services to the grid.
