Voltalia, an international player in renewable energies, has announced the start of production at its Clifton Solar power plant, with a capacity in operation of 45 megawatts, located in Dorset, near Yeovil.
Clifton Solar power plant is now operational. With an installed capacity of 45 megawatts, it will produce the equivalent of the annual electricity consumption of over 10,600 households and is expected to offset 11,600 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually.
This project, along with the Higher Stockbridge project currently under construction, was awarded a Contract for Difference as part of the fourth round of auctions (CfD AR4), securing a fixed tariff for 20 years.
With these new projects, Voltalia strengthens its presence in the United Kingdom, where it now operates four solar and storage plants, representing a total capacity in operation of 134 megawatts. An additional 79 megawatts are currently under construction. In addition, Voltalia has previously supported third-party clients in the development and operation of more than 23 additional projects, totaling 195 megawatts.
In a context of accelerated energy transition and high energy price volatility, Voltalia actively contributes to the UK’s carbon neutrality and energy security goals by delivering green energy at a competitive cost.
'We are very proud to have commissioned the Clifton Solar power plant. This project reflects our commitment to the UK market and our contribution to the national Clean Power goal of generating 95% low-carbon electricity by 2030', said Robert Klein, CEO of Voltalia.
