Bramble Hall Solar Park

British Solar Renewables (BSR) is delighted to present our proposal for Bramble Hall Solar Park, a new renewable energy initiative located on land at Bramble Hall Farm, Mundon Road, Maldon, CM9 6PN. This development will feature a 30MW export Solar PV array, designed to contribute significantly to the local renewable energy infrastructure in Essex. By harnessing solar power, the project aims to deliver clean, green electricity to the local network, particularly during times of peak energy demand, supporting the region’s energy security and sustainability goals.

Project Benefits

The Bramble Hall Solar Park will play a vital role in addressing the urgent need for sustainable energy solutions amid the current cost of living crisis and escalating energy prices. By providing locally sourced, reliable, and environmentally friendly energy, the project will help reduce reliance on polluting fossil fuels, aligning with national and global efforts to combat the climate emergency. Solar power, known for being the lowest cost and quickest-to-deploy energy source, will enable the project to deliver immediate benefits to the community and the environment. This proposal will support Maldon District Council's declaration of a Climate Emergency in February 2021 by contributing to the urgent need for green energy production

Key benefits include:

• Energy Security: Contributing to a stable and sustainable energy supply for Essex.

• Environmental Impact: Reducing carbon emissions through clean energy production.

• Economic Advantages: Supporting the local economy by providing affordable, green energy.

• Enhancement to Biodiversity – net gain of at least 60% (minimum government net gain required 10%). This is usually done through the planting of new hedgerows, gapping up of existing ones and planting wildflower meadows.
