iple solar photovoltaic (PV) panels. They are used to generate energy at a large scale to feed into the electricity grid and to supply power o domestic and commercial consumers. They differ from small-scale solar panels, which are used by homeowners, businesses or community groups to supply p
The first photovoltaic (PV) solar array to connect directly to the electricity transmission network in the UK was energised this week as National Grid connected Enso Energy (Enso) and Cero Generation (Cero)’s new 50MW Larks Green solar farm to its Iron Acton substation near Bristol.
This has meant that, while utility scale solar projects have been able to be promoted under the NPS for energy infrastructure, developers have had to follow a more protracted route to gaining planning permission: developers have had to rely on the general policy support within EN-1 for their solar projects.
Connecting solar power directly to National Grid's transmission network marks a significant step in the renewable energy transition, allowing clean energy to be transported over greater distances and opening a gateway for larger projects to connect to the grid.
The solar plant comprises 152,400 solar modules installed in a 200-acre plot near National Grid's 400kV Iron Acton substation. It will generate over 73,000MWh annually – enough to power the equivalent of over 17,300 homes – and will displace 20,500 tons of CO2 each year compared to traditional energy production.
To meet those targets, more solar ‘nationally significant infrastructure projects’ (NSIPs) will need to be approved over the next decade and beyond – only two projects, the Little Crow Solar Park project and the Cleve Hill Solar Park project, have received development consent to date.
