Location: Anglesey, North Wales
Description of Work: 15 Megawatt Ground Mount Solar Farm
Background:
Anglesey is a small island off of the North West coast of wales, and home to the Bogordon Estate, owned by the Myrick family. The size of this solar park is around 70 acres which equates to approximately 28 football pitches.
This will be one of Wales’s biggest solar parks, generating enough electricity for around 4,500 homes and will connect to the National Grid via existing overhead lines. Once complete, the ground mounted solar panels will continue to provide grassland for grazing animals.
Scope:
The team installed nearly 60,000 solar panels with over 300 miles of cable used.
This project is just one of many for our PV team of engineers Russell Strong, Maurice Sapsford, Simon Ford and Jake Markin, who have completed a number of large scale solar farms around the country, working to tight time scales to deliver these exciting new energy projects.
