In this agreement, Lynher Energy will commit 100% of the output from the new 27 MW Twitch Hill Solar Park. Construction has already begun on Twitch Hill, which is forecasted to come online in September 2024.
This 36-hectare site is located in Shropshire on unutilised grade 3b land. The proposed design includes habitat creation and rewilding efforts, as well as the capacity for sheep to graze on the land. Once commissioned, Twitch Hill will save 8,150 tonnes of C02 emissions from power generation annually.
