6 FAQs about [National Solar Power Generation Project]

Can solar projects be promoted under the NPS?

This has meant that, while utility scale solar projects have been able to be promoted under the NPS for energy infrastructure, developers have had to follow a more protracted route to gaining planning permission: developers have had to rely on the general policy support within EN-1 for their solar projects.

Should solar power be connected to national grid?

Connecting solar power directly to National Grid's transmission network marks a significant step in the renewable energy transition, allowing clean energy to be transported over greater distances and opening a gateway for larger projects to connect to the grid.

Can a photovoltaic solar array connect to the electricity transmission network?

The first photovoltaic (PV) solar array to connect directly to the electricity transmission network in the UK was energised this week as National Grid connected Enso Energy (Enso) and Cero Generation (Cero)’s new 50MW Larks Green solar farm to its Iron Acton substation near Bristol.

Will UK's first solar plant be connected to a transmission network?

Solar energy firm Cero Generation and their UK partner Enso Energy have begun energising the UK’s first ever solar plant to be connected to the country’s transmission network. All other solar projects in the UK connect to local distribution networks, as opposed to the national high-voltage transmission grid.

What is Cero generation & ENSO energy's new solar farm?

A 49.9MW solar farm, owned and operated by Cero Generation and Enso Energy, will be the first in the country to feed electricity directly into the transmission network. The renewable generator will be co-located with a 49.5MW / 99MWh battery energy storage system.

How many solar panels will National Grid's Iron Acton solar plant produce?

The solar plant comprises 152,400 solar modules installed in a 200-acre plot near National Grid's 400kV Iron Acton substation. It will generate over 73,000MWh annually – enough to power the equivalent of over 17,300 homes – and will displace 20,500 tons of CO2 each year compared to traditional energy production.
