Introducing Wiswood Solar Farm
Welcome to Wiswood Solar Farm! This is a proposed solar project near South Lane, south of Cawood, YO8 3UE. The site is located inNorth Yorkshire.
This site will generate enough renewable energy to power the equivalent of 15,150 homes each year. The proposed solar farm will have a capacity of 49.9MW. In addition, a 10MW battery is proposed which would store excess energy generated during the day by the solar panels. This energy can then be released back on to the Grid when there is higher demand for electricity.
The location was carefully chosen. It’s relatively flat, doesn’t cover any protected landscape areas and has numerous overhead power lines and pylons across the site, making it a great spot for a solar farm.
