Pathfinder Clean Energy (PACE), a UK-headquartered international developer of utility scale solar and battery storage projects, has submitted planning for its latest project – Middle Fen Solar – a 49MW solar project co-located with battery energy storage near Whittlesey.
The proposed ground-mounted scheme, known as Middle Fen Solar, would generate enough power for more than 30,000 homes each year or the CO2 emissions equivalent of removing over 18,000 passenger vehicles from the road. The proposals also include 30MW of battery energy storage.
Rob Denman, Managing Director at PACE said, “Middle Fen will supply clean renewable energy to the local area while its batteries will ensure this energy is available when it is most needed. As with all our projects, we will be seeking significant biodiversity gains to tackle the country’s combined challenges of climate change, energy security and species decline. This project once approved will be able to connect into the grid as soon as constructed”
