Welcome to the Knighton Solar PV Public Information Event
ScottishPower Renewables (UK) Limited, (SPR) is developing Knighton Solar PV, comprising of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels and a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS).

Solar Energy
Solar powered energy has a key role to play as part of the mix of renewable energy sources required to meet national energy targets, in particular the Government’s legally binding target of net zero carbon emissions by 2050. This solar farm has the potential to significantly contribute towards these national targets and to make a considerable difference in reducing national CO2 emissions.
Public Information Event (PIE)
The purpose of the online pre-application consultation event is to share information on our progress to date, and provide an opportunity for communities to feedback on our proposals to help shape and inform the final design.
