Pathfinder Clean Energy (PACE), a leading UK-based developer of utility-scale renewables, has submitted planning for Elvington Solar and BESS, the latest 49MW solar and battery storage project near Nonington, Kent.
Elvington Solar, a proposed ground-mounted development, would generate enough renewable electricity to supply nearly 24,000 homes each year, avoiding CO₂ emissions equivalent to taking over 13,000 passenger cars off the road. The scheme also includes a 49.5MW of battery energy storage.
Rob Denman, Managing Director at PACE said, “Elvington Solar and BESS exemplifies our collaborative and responsive approach to renewable energy development. Following a successful public consultation event, the project has undergone significant layout amendments, led by both feedback from the consultation, as well as input from external advisers, most notably landscape, who have aided in addressing the issues raised by the community. This process ensures that the final design is both environmentally sensitive and locally supported. We are proud to bring forward the Elvington project as a demonstration of our commitment to integrated, community-conscious clean energy solutions”
