Lightsource bp is working on a proposal for a solar and energy storage project near Poundon in Buckinghamshire.<\/strong> We will develop a solar and energy storage project to be connected into the local electricity network, with an output power capacity of up to 80MW (Megawatts) and storage capacity of up to 80MW.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve chosen this site after careful consideration, and we\u2019re now undertaking a wide range of environmental assessments to help shape our plans. These include landscape and visual, heritage and archaeology, ecology and ornithology, flooding and more.<\/p>\n

A key part of developing plans for the project is engaging with local communities, so we\u2019re holding an information event to display our plans and gather feedback. Members of the Lightsource bp team will be on hand to answer any questions about the proposal from local residents and interested parties.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n
