Rush Wall Solar Park

BSR Energy is looking to develop Rush Wall Solar Park. This project, if permitted, will generate approximately 75MWp of solar photovoltaic energy to the electricity network.

This solar park will produce enough clean renewable electricity to power 18,755 homes per year*, a saving of 16,611 tonnes CO2e!

As this project is located within a SSSI designation, we have undertaken several detailed ecology surveys to understand the flora and fauna within the site. This information has been used to shape the development into the existing environment.

The solar park will feature the latest technology from the industry, with a primary focus to maximise the yield over the given area.

* Based on an annual average domestic consumption per household (Great Britain) of 3,799 kWh. Source BEIS, Regional and Local authority electricity consumption statics 2018.

! Based on ‘Emissions associated with the generation of electricity at a power station (Electricity generation factors do not include transmission and distribution). Source BEIS, Greenhouse gas reporting: conversion factors 2020.
