EDF Renewables<\/a> is planning to develop a new solar farm at Tye Lane near Bramford, which could generate enough low carbon\u00a0electricity for the domestic needs of 9,690 households annually<\/h2>\n

The project will deliver significant additional local benefits. If planning permission is granted, a community fund of up to \u00a310,000 will be paid annually (depending on the final size of the scheme) for the 35-year lifetime of the project.<\/p>\n

A number of ecological and other feasibility surveys have been carried out and the company is now consulting with local people about the proposal ahead of submitting a planning application before the end of this year.<\/p>\n

Amongst growing concern about climate change<\/a> the 49.9MW Tye Lane project could contribute to saving around 16,700 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year.<\/p>\n

Alongside solar, battery storage and electric vehicle<\/a> (EV) charging are significant enablers for the UK\u2019s goals to reach net zero by 2050 including transport. A solar farm at Tye Lane would underpin plans to install EV charging infrastructure nearby, directly benefitting local EV users by providing affordable, rapid charging.<\/p>\n

EDF R is conducting online and postal community engagement.<\/p>\n

Public consultation<\/h3>\n

Residents near to the site are being contacted by post and members of the public are encouraged to visit EDF R\u2019s\u00a0Tye Lane website<\/a>\u00a0for further information, to register for the live online events and to provide feedback.<\/p>\n

EDF Renewables director of solar and onshore wind development, Mark Vyvyan-Robinson, said: \u201cThis is an excellent site for a solar farm, which is suitably sunny and with a nearby grid connection.<\/p>\n

\u201cEDF Renewables is an experienced renewables developer and Tye Lane is one of the first of a number of solar projects we have planned in the UK.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis project will enable us to contribute to the UK\u2019s green economic recovery<\/a> from Covid-19 and help the country reach its net zero targets.\u201d<\/p>\n
