Welcome to Sheerhatch Solar Farm! This is a proposed solar project near Northill Road, east of Bedford, MK44 3UB. The site is located in the Borough of Bedford.
This site will generate enough renewable energy to power the equivalent of 15,150 homes each year. The proposed solar farm will have a capacity of 49.9MW. In addition, a 15MW battery is proposed which would store excess energy generated during the day by the solar panels. This energy can then be released back on to the Grid when there is higher demand for electricity.
The location was carefully chosen. It’s relatively flat and doesn’t cover any protected landscape areas, making it a great spot for a solar farm.
