Solar Park - Lincolnshire

Carter Jonas advised a landowner on setting up one of the first operational solar parks in the UK. This pioneering project involved building a 4.5MWe scheme consisting of photovoltaic panels in a 12-hectare field near Grantham, Lincolnshire. The scheme is designed to produce electricity from daylight, and it is estimated that enough electricity will be produced annually to supply approximately 1,000 homes.

The Carter Jonas team advised landowner E.A. Sheardown throughout the successful negotiations with the developer.
These have resulted in the scheme being connected before the 1 August 2011 deadline which ensures that the scheme benefits from the higher Feed-in Tariff rate. (From that date, the rate changes from 30.7p/kWh to 8.5p/kWh for field-sized installations over 250kW).
