About Mylen Leah Solar Farm
We are now in the statutory consultation phase on our plans for Mylen Leah Solar Farm, a renewable energy development which would help meet the country's need for low carbon, clean energy generation.
Mylen Leah Solar Farm is expected to have a capacity of approximately 500MW which will be exported to the National Grid helping to contribute to the ambitious UK target of 70,000 MW (70GW) of solar capacity by 2035, and the commitment to reach Net Zero by 2050.
Feedback received through consultation and the results of our ongoing studies such as ecological and landscape and visual, which are part of the Environmental Impact Assessment for Mylen Leah, will continue to inform our proposals going forward.
The areas that will not be used for solar generation provide opportunities for delivering a range of biodviersity enhancements and habitat management measures, along with dedicated areas for landscaping and screening.
If approved the project will not only provide clean energy but will also deliver a minimum 10% biodiversity net gain and a community benefit fund.
Our updated indicative design for Mylen Leah Solar Farm can be viewed below. More details can be found in our Project Documents page.
Humberhead Solar Farm
We are aware that Island Green Power has recently announced a proposed solar farm located close to Mylen Leah. The Humberhead Solar Farm is a separate development and not linked in any way to our proposal.
As with any proposed solar project located nearby, our planning application will include an assessment of the potential cumulative effects, should details of this project be available within the appropriate timeframes
