Exagen has submitted a planning application for the Holly Lane Energy Park, a hybrid solar and battery project in the Midlands, in the UK.
Holly Lane Energy Park planning application will be reviewed by Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council and Warwick District Council.
The solar farm will have an export capacity of 28MW, while the battery storage system will have an installed capacity of up to 75MW.
This is Exagen’s third large-scale renewable energy project submitted to planning in the last 10 months.
Exagen will be establishing a community fund to spend on projects or initiatives in the local area, with communities invited to input on how the fund is used.
Pre-application consultation with the local authorities and public consultation across three events during spring 2023 delivered optimised proposals for both the solar farm and battery storage site.
Details on landscaping proposals are set out on landscaping plans submitted to Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council and Warwick District Council.
The Holly Lane Energy Park is located on two parcels of land between Balsall Common and Kenilworth.
The solar farm will be connected to the network via a buried cable that follows the public highway.
The 75MW battery storage system will be located adjacent to the point of connection in to the 132kV overhead line which crosses the site.
