This solar park will produce enough clean renewable electricity to power 12,501 homes per year*, a saving of 11,072 tonnes CO₂e!

The project is situated off the A3124 and is approximately 1.7 miles east of the village of Dolton and 1-mile south-west of Riddlecombe. The approximately 160 acres (64.75Ha) site will be located in several fields which are currently used for livestock farming. In addition to having solar panels on the site, the proposal also includes biodiversity and landscape enhancement measures, such as the gapping up of existing hedgerows to ensure there are minimal visual and environmental impacts. ​

The solar park will feature the latest technology from the industry, with a primary focus to maximise the yield over the given area.
