Belectric has returned to the UK for the first time since 2015 by securing a EPC contract to construct two solar farms with a combined capacity of 100MW for Vantage RE.
The photovoltaic plants will be located near Hook in the region of Hampshire (66.5MWp) and Eastfields in Warwickshire (34.8MWp).
Consisting of almost 170,000 solar modules, they can supply the equivalent of 37,000 homes with green energy.
Eastfields will be executed using bifacial solar modules mounted on single-axis trackers – a promising technology for the future of solar energy in countries like the UK.
In addition, both solar farms will be combined with a battery storage system.
Belectric head of sales David Johann said: “We are proud to have won Vantage RE as a partner.
“Being chosen to construct these two exciting projects underlines our expertise in the construction of tracker projects in Nordic countries as well as the integration of storage solutions into the overall solar system.”
Construction is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2023.
Ian Chisholm, head of solar asset management at Vantage RE, added: “This is an important milestone for Vantage RE and marks the broadening of our activities into project development.
“We’re pleased to be working with Belectric, who bring their extensive expertise as we deliver our two new solar farms.”
