Higher Wraxall Solar Park
BSR Energy are preparing to submit an application to Dorset District Council for a Solar PV scheme less than 1.0 km south west of the centre of the settlement of Higher Wraxall and to the eastern aspect of the A356 carriageway. The Solar scheme will have an approximate design capacity of 14MWp and would generate an estimated MWh of clean, renewable and sustainable electricity per year. This is the equivalent to the annual electrical needs of approx. 3,501 family homes*. The anticipated CO2 displacement is around 3,101 tonnes per annum.
* Based on an annual average domestic consumption per household (Great Britain) of 3,799 kWh. Source BEIS, Regional and Local authority electricity consumption statics 2018.
! Based on 'Emissions associated with the generation of electricity at a power station (Electricity generation factors do not include transmission and distribution). Source BEIS, Greenhouse gas reporting: conversion factors 2020.
