en.Wedoany.com Reported - Centrica and Push Power Ltd have jointly announced that the Rolleston Solar Farm is now fully operational, with a total installed capacity of 18 megawatts.

The solar farm covers approximately 70 acres and is equipped with over 29,000 solar panels. It is expected to generate around 17 megawatt-hours of green electricity annually, sufficient to meet the electricity needs of 6,200 households. This project builds on the successful collaboration between the two parties on the 18 MW Codford Solar Farm in Wiltshire, which began generating electricity in June 2023.

"The Rolleston Solar Farm is a significant milestone for Centrica, demonstrating our commitment to delivering clean, secure, and affordable energy," said Dave Kirwan, Managing Director of Centrica Power. "By expanding our portfolio of renewable energy and flexible assets, we are supporting the transition to net-zero emissions while providing stable, predictable returns that underpin our long-term investment plan."

In addition to this new project, Centrica continues to expand its clean energy portfolio. In March 2024, the company acquired two other projects: a 16 MW solar farm and a 3 MW battery storage facility in Dorset, expected to begin transmitting electricity in September 2026, capable of powering 4,600 households annually; and a 13 MW solar farm in Wiltshire, which has been operational since March 2015, providing energy for approximately 3,200 households each year.

Andy Khan, Managing Director of Push Power Ltd, added: "The successful completion of the Rolleston Solar Farm is a milestone moment for Push Power's next phase of expansion in the UK solar sector. Rolleston is a project we developed from the ground up, and we are proud to have delivered it in long-term partnership with Centrica. Push Power designs, develops, installs, and maintains customized solar solutions for clients, focusing on tailored systems that maximize power generation. The Rolleston Solar Farm exemplifies our expertise in providing optimal systems for large-scale utility solar projects."
