Pathfinder Clean Energy (PACE) is pleased to announce the completion of structural installation at its Three Bridges Solar Farm in Norfolk, with over 35,000 solar panels now in place across the 86-acre site. Delivered by PACE’s internal construction team, the project combines 25 MWp of solar generation with a co-located 32.6 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), creating a hybrid renewable energy asset that will provide clean power and grid flexibility to the UK network.
Construction is now entering its final electrical installation and commissioning phase, with energisation targeted for later this year. Once operational, Three Bridges is expected to generate enough clean electricity to power approximately 9,000 UK homes annually, while avoiding an estimated 4,500 tonnes of CO₂e emissions every year.
Rob Denman, Managing Director of Pathfinder Clean Energy, said:
“Reaching this milestone at Three Bridges is a significant step forward for the project and reflects the excellent progress made by our construction team on site. Solar generation and battery storage working together is exactly the kind of clean, flexible infrastructure the UK needs.”
Bram Claeys, Business Development and EPC Director at PACE Construction, said:
“The successful completion of the structural installation at Three Bridges demonstrates PACE Construction’s expertise in delivering complex renewable energy projects to the highest standards. Our team has maintained an exemplary safety record throughout the construction phase while working efficiently to install over 35,000 solar panels across the site. This reflects the dedication of our skilled workforce and our commitment to technical excellence in every aspect of the build. We’re proud to be delivering this important renewable infrastructure for Norfolk and contributing to the UK’s clean energy future.”
