Burges Salmon’s energy team advised Anesco on its Clayhill solar farm project. Based near Flitwick in Bedfordshire, Clayhill is the first solar farm in the UK to operate without a government subsidy.
The facility was opened officially by Claire Perry MP, UK Minister for Climate Change & Industry, on 26 September.
Anesco is one of the UK’s leading renewable energy developers with more than 100 solar farms in its portfolio. It originated, financed and built the Clayhill project, which is a 10MW solar installation combined with a 6MW energy storage facility.
Will Woodall, partner in the firm’s real estate team, comments: “We were all excited to work on Anesco’s first-of-its-kind project. It’s a landmark development for both the renewable energy sector and moving the UK towards achieving a sustainable future. We love working with Anesco and look forward to assisting them with their other ambitious and exciting new developments.”
