How NextEnergy Group’s solar energy projects mitigate climate change, protect nature, and support critical ecosystems.
Nature-Positive Impact
Solar energy offers a unique solution to tackle climate change in the UK by generating renewable energy while also supporting agricultural activities.
While the land required for a solar site is extensive, the direct footprint of the panels is typically around 3%. NextEnergy Group works closely with landowners and planners to create the best possible outcomes for solar and nature. This is possible because the activities of the Group’s companies cover the full lifecycle of solar assets, from development and construction, to operation and decommissioning.
At Honington Solar Farm in Suffolk, NextEnergy Group is using the unbuilt land to improve the local biodiversity and support sheep farming.
With careful site design and management, ground-mounted solar energy projects can play a key role in meeting government targets to ensure food and energy security.
