Lightsource BP continues solar push with 49.9MW solar farm

Lightsource BP is proposing the development of a 49.9MW solar farm in Nottingham, with a 700MW global pipeline announced. The UK solar firm will fund, develop and build the farm on 205 acres of land at Inkersall Grange Farm. A biodiversity management plan is to be developed in conjunction with the planning application for the enhancement of the site for local wildlife. A community consultation is to be held on Monday 20 May 2019, where Lightsource BP will provide further information on the proposals and gather feedback from local residents. The project is the latest of Lightsouce BP’s large-scale ambitions, with the firm pushing a weighty stream of solar into the UK market over the last few months.
