Lincolnshire Firm Connects a Further 4.5MWP of Solar Farm Capacity

Following hot on the heels of the Hawton solar farm, solar developer Lark Energy has this week seen its second large scale solar farm grid-connected.

The solar 4.51MWp solar farm at Marston, near Grantham in Lincolnshire was built by Dutch company Oskomera in just 6 weeks. It consists of 19,500 Suntech solar panels mounted on frames across 30 acres and will generate enough energy to power 1,100 homes.

As with the 4.89MWp Hawton solar farm, the Marston solar farm was funded by Lightsource with the backing of Octopus Investments.

Jonathan Selwyn, Managing Director of Lark Energy, commented I am delighted that Lark Energy has played a leading role in demonstrating how large scale renewable energy can be deployed quickly to help the UK address its carbon reduction and energy security requirements. We are proud to have been instrumental in connecting 9.4 MW of solar farm capacity despite the imposition by the government of draconian cuts to the Feed in Tariff. We congratulate Oskomera on their superb work and would also like to acknowledge the support of South Kesteven District Council and the local community who have been a huge help in realising this project in such a short timescale.
