One of the UK’s largest solar farms, a 55 MW project, is now officially online, providing enough power for over 20,000 homes.

The solar farm, developed by Atrato Onsite Energy, is also the fourth largest in the entire country, marking a major milestone for renewable energy in the UK.

The solar farm, which cost £39.4 million to build, is located in Richmond, North Yorkshire, and it covers an impressive 166 acres – that’s about 93 football fields. With over 93,000 bifacial solar panels, this site is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 11,000 tonnes annually.
