We are delighted to announce our third project will be Derril Water Solar Park. It will be Britain's first shared solar park where members share the power as well as the ownership.
Based in Torridge, Devon, Derril Water is located 1.2km south west of the village of Pyworthy.
Derril Water will be up to 42MW, comprising of over 70,000 ground mounted solar panels.
Just 5 panels is enough to generate a typical home's electricity needs for a year
It has the potential to power around 14,000 homes
It will take an average of just 37 minutes for the solar park to generate enough electricity to meet a typical home's annual needs
It will save 19,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions every year
The solar park is expected to begin operating in late summer 2024
