Ridge Clean Energy are proposing a renewable energy park, consisting of a solar farm and battery energy storage system, on land to the south west of Ruddington Village.
We have been developing, constructing and operating clean energy projects in Great Britain since 2003 and are keen to elevate the importance of producing domestic, homegrown, clean renewable energy. Fair Oaks Renewable Energy Park would generate as much electricity as is used by approximately 11,200 homes annually, offsetting carbon emissions from fossil fuel generators.
We work in partnership with many areas of the community including landowners, councils, transport, charities and community groups, and engage at an early stage so locals can benefit at the earliest opportunity. Specifically, we are keen to identify local initiatives for which our expertise and finance may be useful. We want to support existing community projects and help, new local ideas become a reality.
As well as community benefits, it would deliver a net gain in biodiversity, for example, by including a species-rich seed mix in between the rows of solar panels to encourage birds, bees and other wildlife.
Two public exhibitions took place in Ruddington on the 22nd & 25th March 2022. If you missed them, or just wish to learn more about our proposals, you can visit: https://ridgecleanenergy.com/fairoaks
