Trerice Solar Farm

We have created this website to provide information about our emerging proposals and to enable people to contact us with questions and feedback.

This webpage will be kept updated as the project develops to keep you informed and to hear your views and ideas.

Following our public consultation event in October 2024, we have submitted a planning application to Cornwall Council which has been given the reference number PA24/09234 and can be found on the Cornwall Council website.

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, a cable route will connect the two. Our submitted plans are informed by an extensive period of specialist surveying and also take into consideration feedback given by the community during two periods of public consultation in 2021 and 2024.

This project has the potential to generate enough renewable electricity to meet the equivalent 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.
