Low Carbon plans 500 MW solar energy park in Oxfordshire
UK-based renewable energy company, Low Carbon, has announced plans to develop the 500 MW West Oxfordshire Energy Park in the UK. The proposed project will combine a solar PV generating station with battery energy storage and associated electrical infrastructure. It will be located north-west of Lechlade and south-west of Carterton, near Langford and Little Faringdon. Low Carbon expects the project to generate electricity equivalent to the annual consumption of about 145,000 UK homes. A public consultation is planned for early 2027 as environmental surveys and technical assessments continue. As the proposed capacity exceeds 100 MW, the project is classified as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project and will require a Development Consent Order.
