Rampisham Woods Solar Park

British Solar Renewables (BSR Energy) is developing a new solar development on Land at Rampisham Down, Rampisham, Dorset. This project, when built, will generate 10.2MW of solar photovoltaic energy to the electricity network. The proposals represent an opportunity to boost green energy generation in Dorset.

Given the current cost of living crisis, which includes soaring energy prices and concerns around energy security, providing locally sourced clean, green, and reliable energy production is more vital than ever. Additionally, Dorset District Council declared an ecological emergency in 2020 and the central Government has set out ambitious targets to ensure the United Kingdom is net zero by 2050. In order to meet this target and to address the climate emergency, the shift away from polluting fossil fuel sources towards green energy production options, such as solar developments, is needed urgently.

BSR Energy is passionate about playing its part to help the UK make the change towards renewable sources. We have all seen first-hand this summer the impacts that climate change is having, from the hottest day on record being recorded, to official drought declarations. The time to take action and mitigate against any further damage to our planet is now.
