Funded Project: Description

The project aims to implement a pioneering multi-site microgrid that explores the potential for three types of microgrid to support the transition to net zero. This includes microgrids for flats in Bexhill, for a neighborhood in Bexhill, and for a whole town in Battle. Their approach includes deploying cutting-edge technologies such as the Transmission Upgrade Avoidance (TUA) scheme to avoid grid connection delays and solshare to share solar power. Their solar farm’s innovative financial model and community-private ownership will show how solar farms can provide maximum benefit to local communities.
