Plans For UK's First Solar Farm Announced

The company, Eco Sustainable Solutions, says the solar farm will use 30,000 solar panels to generate approximately five megawatts (5MW) of electrical power which, based on average UK household figures, will meet the electricity needs of 1,100 homes. It will also save more than 1,100 tonnes of carbon emissions each year.

Eco Managing Director Trelawney Dampney says he hopes the project, called Parley Solar Farm, will start a trend towards more large-scale solar energy generation plants across the UK.

"Climate change is the biggest issue facing the world at the current time. The establishment of Parley Solar Farm will represent a small step towards meeting the UK government’s commitment to reduce carbon emissions by 20 per cent by 2020."
