Project information

Lime Down Solar Park is a new utility-scale solar and battery energy storage project proposed to be built in North Wiltshire. The project would comprise the installation of ground-mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, inverters, transformers, a substation, site access, cable connections, security fencing and CCTV equipment and construction compounds and necessary infrastructure to connect to the National Grid at Melksham Substation, enabling electricity generated to be supplied to homes and businesses across the UK. The proposals also include a new Battery Energy Storage System (BESS).
