Reasons to support the Nuneham Solar Farm proposal
Ground-mounted solar is one of the cheapest forms of electricity generation and is readily deployable at scale.
Capable of producing clean, green electricity for approximately 13,000 homes each year
Capable of saving around 20,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions compared to the equivalent fossil fuel generation, each year.
Potential to deliver a biodiversity net gain of 70.94% for habitat units, 61.48% for hedgerow units, and 23.32% for watercourse unts.
Potential to deliver significant inward investment from the construction of the solar farm, through the use of local businesses and services.
Creation of 2.7km of new native species-rich hedgerow and 400m of existing hedgerow enhanced.
There would be no long-term loss or reclassification of Green Belt land from the development which is temporary in nature, and can be returned to agricultural use at the end of the project's life.
Specifically designed to be dual-purpose allowing continued agricultural use in the form of sheep grazing, and the production of renewable energy.
