The project would cover 58hectares, soak up an estimated 55,000 modules, and be supported by theRenewable Obligation (RO) mechanism.

Last autumn TGC broke groundat a 6.2MW PV array in Devon that was to become the first ground-mounted PVarray in the UK to be connected under the RO scheme.

TGC’s new application willfurther fuel the sentiment that the UK’s new RO banding structure, announced bygovernment in December, remains appealing to large-scale solar developers.
