Elgin Energy is seeking to develop a ground mounted solar PV farm on lands at Moat Farm, Newent GL18 1JG. The proposed site is located approximately 1km south-east of Newent. Access to the site will be from an unnamed road off the B4215 that runs to the east of the site and connects to Kent’s Green Road. The proposed project covers 192 acres and will accommodate approximately 40 megawatts (MW) of ground mounted solar PV panels. A project lifetime of 40 years is proposed. The proposed solar farm will generate approximately 43,000,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) per annum powering 12,000 homes or 16,000 electric vehicles (EVs) every year.
