Plans for a solar farm at a landfill in Greater Manchesterwould power nearly 3,000 homes, the developer has said. The Whitehead site at Astley, on the border of Wigan and Salford, will be used to generate 10m watts of electricity, if the plans are given the green light.
The battery energy storage system would be able to charge, store and export 5MVA of electricity to the local distribution network. The proposed facility could also provide power to the National Grid, contributing to the security of the country’s electricity supply. A perimeter path around the restored landfill site, connecting the site to the wider public right of way network, is also planned. More than 8,000 sqm of native woodland, 1,000 sqm of native scrub and 140,000 sqm of grassland will also be included within the scheme.
