EDF Renewables has submitted a planning application in the UK for a 50MWW solar photovoltaic project.
The application was filed with South Holland District Council for a project next to the Sutton Bridge power station in eastern England.
A number of ecological and other feasibility surveys have been carried out and EDF Renewables is satisfied the site is an “excellent location” for solar, with high levels of irradiation and a nearby grid connection.
The proposed 49.9MW solar farm, if given planning permission, would allow the project team to explore potential battery storage and electric vehicle (EV) charging possibilities at the site too, said EDF Renewables.
Monday, 14 December 2020 French energy leader EDF Renewables France has equipped its asset managers working across all their wind assets with fieldPRO, an advanced cloud-based inspection and service tool from Onyx InSight.
This follows the partnership with EDF Renewables North America for Onyx InSight’s Condition Monitoring solutions, including cloud-based system fleetMONITOR and retro-fit ecoCMS hardware installations.
The deal, initially for three years, covers all 1,675 MW of EDF Renewables’ wind assets in France and is a first for the French wind market, further strengthening Onyx InSight’s footprint in Europe. The use of fieldPRO circumvents the need for paper-based solutions, enabling EDF Renewables France’s asset managers to digitally document and automate the inspection process, streamlining image categorisation with indexed photos and auto-generated reports.
