Plans to build North Lincolnshire's second solar energy park on farmland near Kirton in Lindsey have been made public. The developer at Martifer Solar UK has earmarked Manor Farm at Manton to install thousands of photovoltaic panels.
If given planning approval, the Manton park would deliver 27 megawatts of renewable energy – enough to supply around 8,100 households a year. It is expected that the solar farm will produce power for 25 years.
This would be a fantastic addition to North Lincolnshire and would create a large amount of secure jobs in our region. Not only will it provide clean energy to over 8,000 homes but it will be a big step in the right direction to reducing carbon emissions and tackling climate change.
Martin Dwyer has written a letter to North Lincs Council on behalf of NLGP to strongly support the proposal. You can view the letter HERE. Martin has also asked to address the Planning Committee when the decision is made on 2nd September 2015.

Work is due to commence soon on North Lincolnshires first ever solar farm on a 190-acre site at Raventhorpe Farm, next to the Tata Steel works in Scunthorpe. The project will deliver 38 megawatts of energy annually – enough to supply 11,000 homes.
