Stokes Lane Solar Farm Stokes Lane Solar Farm Recurrent Energy

The Proposal

Stokes Lane Solar Farm will comprise solar panels mounted on racks and arranged in rows.

If planning is granted, the Stokes Lane Solar Farm will:-

  • Supply power directly into the grid, with an export capacity of up to 28 MW (megawatts)
  • Potential to generate enough electricity (39 GWh) to meet the needs of around 11,000* homes.
  • Offer a community benefit package that will be shaped by local people
  • Offset approximately 17,000** tonnes of CO2 per year.
  • Contribute to meeting England’s ambitious ‘net zero by 2045’ targets
