The project comprises solar panels on frames, a temporary construction compound, gravel access tracks, a substation, inverters, perimeter fencing and CCTV. It was acquired from Lightrock Power Ltd after planning permission was granted by East Devon District Council in 2022. Once operational, the solar farm is expected to generate enough electricity to meet the demands of approximately 15,000 average UK homes each year. Construction started in July 2025.
