Elements Green News Today

Developer Elements Green has secured preliminary planning approval for a 400MW battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Germany.

More than half of locals who commented on plans to build what would be one of Britain’s biggest solar farms want the scheme to be scrapped.

The developers of a large-scale solar farm project have claimed that residents are showing signs of support.

According to new data sourced by CBI Economics, the UK’s net zero economy grew by 9% in 2023, with solar energy as a key contributor.

A councillor’s “reluctance to oppose” to a solar farm has raised concerns for an MP, who claims residents are “almost universally” against the plan.

Downing Renewable Developments (DRD) has unveiled plans to develop a 750MW solar and co-located storage project in Lincolnshire.

1. Saudi power producer and desalination company ACWA Power Co will complete construction of the 200MW Kom Ombo solar project in Egypt in April. The total construction cost of the solar power plant is approximately US$182 million (€167.1 million), and financial close will be completed in August 2023. Once up and running, Kom Ombo will power 130,000 homes and offset 280,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.

The developer of a 1.5m panel solar farm has responded to concerns from residents living in the communities most affected by the project plans.

UK-based renewables developer Elements Green has said the Great North Road solar park could generate annual funding of “up to £1 million” for local community projects.

Consultation has begun this week on a huge solar farm near Newark, which would be larger than any currently operating in the UK.
