Luminous Energy is proposing to develop a solar farm on land near Almondsbury, Bristol
The solar farm is located on land southwest of Almondsbury, with a capacity of 49.9 MWac. It would generate an estimated 70,725 MWh within the first year of operation; the equivalent of powering 18,616 homes in the UK, per year.
A public consultation event was held on Tuesday 21 November 2023, providing local residents with the opportunity to find out more about the proposed solar farm site.
The site has been selected based on considerations such as grid availability, solar irradiance, existing site landscape and heritage, access and agricultural quality.
An important part of this proposed site is the biodiversity and landscape enhancements which will result in an overall Biodiversity Net Gain.
In addition, a community benefit fund will be set up and paid each year the solar farm is in operation.
It would assist in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in line with local and national targets.

A range of ecological enhancements are being considered as part of the application. These include, areas of wildflower and bird seed mix, bat and bird boxes and revitalisation of existing ponds to encourage pond life such as newts. The solar farm would have a significant positive net biodiversity impact.
