Boralex Proposes 99.9 MW Solar Farm in Melton Mowbray

0:00A renewable energy company, called Borulex, has filed initial plans with Melton-Burl Council for a major solar farm on 293 acres. A farmland near Melton-Mobre, the site sits off Sawgate Road in Burton-Lazar's in Span's 8 fields. These panels would crank out 99.9 MW of electricity, enough to supply power to around 25,000 homes year-round. Several impacts look straight forward so far, with the project aiming to boost clean energy without permanent changes to the farmland vibe. It had run for 40 years before full decommissioning, restoring the land back to agriculture as promised in the docks. Councils reviewing these early proposals now, paving the way for a full application down the line that could light up the grid greener.
