Construction work at the Great Glemham Solar Farm is scheduled for completion in October. The plant will be able to generate around 19,000,000 kWh per annum, which will be enough to supply approximately 5000 average British households with renewable energy. Over a 20 year period, this means CO2 reductions of around 277,000 t.
Currently, BayWa r.e. has a total of almost 40 MWp solar capacity under construction in the UK and a further 10 MWp due to commence shortly.
