Thorpe Estate Solar Farm - Public Consultation

Thorpe Estate and Elgin Energy are delighted to announce proposals to develop a solar PV farm on land at Thorpe Constantine, Tamworth, Staffordshire, B79 0AH. The Estate is a keen advocate for solar energy and has invested in renewable energy for over a decade, including its own biomass district heating system.

The proposed site for the solar farm is sensitively located 1.5 kilometres south west of Clifton Campville, with access to the site from the public road, Clifton Lane. The proposed project covers approximately 176 acres, and will accommodate 49.9 megawatts (MW) of ground mounted solar PV panels with project lifetime of 40 years. The proposed solar farm will generate approximately 49,900,000 kWh per annum which is enough to power 14,000 homes, which is approximately 43% of all households in Lichfield District, including the whole of Lichfield City.
