Gresham House has acquired the 20MW Beavor Grange solar farm near Axminster, Devon, from Anesco. It is the fourth site in a three-year development and construction partnership for 200MW of ground mount solar valued in excess of £100 million. It follows the acquisition of two 20MW solar farms in Cirencester, Gloucestershire town and Alfreton, Derbyshire, earlier this year, and the 50MW Low Farm in Lincolnshire.
Beavor Grange site will have a lifespan of 40 years, after which time it will be returned to its natural state. Work on site is due to begin in early 2023 and is expected to take around 34 weeks to complete, with all engineering, procurement and construction handled by Anesco. Once operational, the solar farm will be monitored by Anesco’s operations and maintenance team.
