EDF Renewables has acquired two grid scale solar projects, adding 100MW to its growing UK portfolio. It has acquired Burwell, a 49.9MW consented project in South East Cambridgeshire from AGR, and it has acquired Porth Wen, also a 49.9MW consented project, this time in North Anglesey, from developer Countryside Renewables. This second site also has consent for a battery storage unit. Both are expected to be built by the end of 2022, with EDF highlighting that it will work closely with the local communities throughout the process as well as offering a £10,000 annual community benefit fund for each site. Burwell will include more than a kilometre of new native species planted to enhance biodiversity, with hedgerows and a four metre wide reedbed along the perimeter.
