Solar supplies business park
Work on the final elements of Scottow Moor Solar’s solar farm, located on the Scottow Enterprise Park (the former RAF Coltishall airbase, north-east of Norwich), has been completed and the scheme is now generating renewable energy for the local grid. The near 50 MW solar farm is one of the largest to be built in the UK.
The final elements of the solar farm consisted of four separate solar generating units, each connected and supplying renewable electricity to aircraft hangars that form part of the Scottow Enterprise Park. Phase 1 of the solar farm, owned and operated by Scottow Moor Solar (SMS), was completed in March 2015.
Supplies to the hangar buildings mean that tenants on the Park, who lease one or more of the hangars for commercial use, have a direct electricity supply from the solar farm.
