The electricity generated by the 50-megawatt project would power a typical 14,100 homes per year, according to plans
A solar farm that would cover an area equivalent to almost 100 football pitches could be set to spring up on the border of Fylde and Preston . Plans have been lodged for the 68.7-hectare green energy scheme on agricultural land between Clifton and Freckleton.
The intention is for sheep to continue to graze beneath the elevated solar panels that would cover much of the plot at a height above ground level of between 0.75 metres and 2.67 metres. If approved, the development could be delivered in as little as nine months and would have a lifespan of 40 years – after which it would be dismantled and the land restored.
The report notes that the layout of the site would allow for the retention of most of its existing landscape features, while there would also be additional planting and areas tailored for birds as part of a requirement to increase the biodiversity of the land by 10 percent following the development. Extolling the benefits of its proposal, Vattenfall says the solar farm would “increase energy security, help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and hit local and national targets”.
