Conrad Energy has announced that its 45MW Larport solar farm has started producing energy. The Herefordshire solar farm is expected to produce 40,000 MWh of renewable electricity annually, with the power ‘sleeved’ to BNP Paribas via an initial 15-year power purchase agreement. Principal contractor Ethical Power delivered design optimisation and engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services and will also provide operation and maintenance services for the site.
During the construction of the farm, Conrad Energy fitted solar panels to the roof of the nearby Mordiford Church of England Primary School.
Conrad Energy already hosts a potential 950MW of energy generation and battery storage across its 85 sites across the UK.
