Large solar farm proposed for west Cumbria
Proposals for a large solar farm in west Cumbria have been submitted
The project at Dean Moor, south east of Workington, would cover about a square mile between the villages of Gilgarran and Branthwaite. Director Rufus Salter said the company was "dedicated to supporting the UK's mission to achieve net zero emissions by 2050". As well as a series of photovoltaic panels the company is also applying to build a 100MW battery facility on the site to store energy at times of low demand and release it to the national grid when need is higher.In planning documents, the company said the land was rural and mostly used for sheep grazing but was "not an unspoilt landscape as the site is affected by the presence of pylons, overhead lines and wind turbines".
