About Trerice Solar Farm

Trerice Solar Farm (formerly Treviscoe Solar Farm) is a proposal for a new solar PV and battery energy storage scheme (BESS) in St Austell, Cornwall.

The proposed development is split across two areas: a solar farm with a generating capacity of approximately 32MW to the northwest of Treviscoe, with associated BESS to the west of St Dennis. Following the initial public consultation in 2021, we have updated our plans taking into consideration feedback and following an extensive period of specialist surveying.

This project has the potential to generate enough renewable electricity to meet the needs of over 10,000 homes every year, support the decarbonisation of the local area and contribute to the Government’s target of 100% clean electricity by 2030.

We held an information event on 23 October at St Dennis AFC. The project team provided an update on our proposed plans and answered questions from the local community. 

The project team are looking forward to meeting the local community, providing an update on our proposed plans and will be on hand to answer any questions
