The RO Group has obtained planning consent for a 5-megawatt solar park in England.
Located on 20 acres of land at Potash Farm, the facility is expected to generate enough electricity for more than 1,800 homes and reduce more than 2,300 metric tons of carbon emissions per year. RO Energy will own the entire solar park asset and will trade the power that is generated from it.
“We are incredibly proud to be launching a clean energy company, which reflects our group commitment to helping shape a more sustainable future and reducing our carbon footprint,” said Edward Rowlandson, group managing director at the RO. “The launch comes at a time when the U.K. is looking to rely on renewables more than ever for a multitude of environmental, economic and geopolitical reasons.”
Over time, RO Energy will look to expand its solar interests as the right opportunities present themselves.
