Pathfinder Clean Energy Submits Into Planning Lassington Solar - A 40MW Solar Farm, Co-located With BESS In Gloucestershire, UK.

Pathfinder Clean Energy (PACE), a leading UK-based developer of utility-scale renewable energy projects, has submitted a planning application for Lassington Solar and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), a new 40MW solar and storage development located near Gloucester, Gloucestershire.

The proposed scheme directly supports Tewkesbury Borough Council’s declaration of a Climate Emergency in 2019 and its commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2030. With a planned grid connection date prior to 2030, the project is well-positioned to contribute meaningfully to both national decarbonisation objectives and the Council’s specific emissions reduction targets.

Rob Denman, Managing Director at PACE, commented: “Lassington Solar and BESS will not only offer an immediate and tangible contribution toward meeting the Council’s climate goals, but it will also deliver substantial Biodiversity Net Gain. This project addresses the interconnected challenges of climate change, energy security, and biodiversity loss at both a local and national level.”
