Good Energy has commissioned the 5MW Oaklands Plantation solar plant near Wareham in Dorset.
It brings the number of solar farms the company has built and operates to seven and together with its two wind farms it has installed capacity of 52.5MW.
Good Energy has also received planning permission for three additional solar farms totalling 12MW – Newton Downs, in South Devon, Warren Park in Dorset and Delabole, in Cornwall.
Founder and chief executive Juliet Davenport said: “The site will make an important contribution towards Dorset’s renewable energy targets, and will also deliver benefits to local people in the form of a community fund and bespoke biodiversity plans.”
