A new solar park in Winterton developed on a former landfill site has started operation.
The Winterton solar energy park, developed by Infinis and FCC Environment, occupies approximately 18 acres. It has been constructed in accordance with a methodology approved by the Environment Agency, which protects the existing landfill structure.

Shane Pickering, Chief Executive Officer of Infinis said: “Infinis is committed to developing and constructing its pipeline of projects on FCC sites. These developments repurpose landfill, enhance biodiversity and support the UK’s transition to net zero.

“We also welcome North Lincolnshire Council’s pro-active approach to reviewing and concluding planning applications in the shortest time possible. This focus has helped enable us to build Winterton and commence generating renewable power into the local grid network within a five-month period, and reinforces the local commitment to supporting clean energy.”

The EPC contractor for the project was Ethical Power.
