BayWa R.e Completes Another UK Plant
BayWa r.e has commissioned Polmaugan solar farm, which is the fifth freestanding PV plant constructed by the company in the UK.
The 4.9 MWp solar farm is situated near Bodmin in Cornwall and covers an area of just under ten
hectares. A neighbouring company buys the power, which is delivered via a direct supply line. The
sustainably produced energy therefore directly benefits the local economy. Average annual power generation is around 5.13 million kWh, saving approx.
3,400 tonnes of CO2 per year. BayWa r.e. installed 18,810 polycrystalline modules and 150 string inverters for the plant.
The UK is one of the core markets for BayWa r.e.'s renewable energy business. So far, the company has built solar and wind farms with a total output of more than 110 MW in Britain. Further projects are currently under construction or at the planning stage.
