There are many ways in which local communities can benefit from renewable energy projects, and we want to hear your views on how this project can benefit yours.

Biodiversity
By providing an alternative to oil and gas, renewable projects can combat the climate crisis. But our projects are also designed to tackle the biodiversity crisis.
There are areas of the Mylen Leah Solar site dedicated to delivering biodiversity enhancements and habitat management measures, along with space 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.
