Statkraft gets go-ahead for 50MW Stargoose solar – EQ Mag Pro
Cambridgeshire project in the UK to feature battery storage facility
Statkraft has secured planning permission for its 50MW Stargoose solar farm from South Cambridgeshire Planning Committee.
The project on land at the Childerley Estate includes batteries for energy storage.
Gareth Hawkins from Statkraft welcomed the decision.
“We’re particularly proud of the contribution that the solar energy farm will be making to wildlife, including fantastic Biodiversity Net Gain on the site which vastly exceeds the local targets of 20%,” he said.
“Also, as a result of today’s approval, we hope to offer construction employment opportunities for local people, and investment will be generated for the local community and environmental projects.”
Stargoose Solar Energy Farm is part of Statkraft’s commitment to deploy 600MW of renewable projects in the UK by 2025.
