Construction has started on Centrica’s new solar farm near
Warminster, the first step in the company’s ambitious solar portfolio.
The 18MW Codford Solar Farm was acquired in 2021 and received
Centrica investment approval in December, with completion expected this summer.
Once complete, the 72-acre site will be capable of powering
some 4,850 homes.
In late 2021, Centrica Business Solutions announced ambitions
to deliver 900MW of solar and battery storage by 2026. Codford will be the
first solar farm completed as part of those aims.
