Caker Stream is a proposed solar project at Gaston Lane, Farringdon, Alton. This project is being developed by Quintas Cleantech together with us (Energise South Downs) and Energy Alton, who will work in partnership with Community Energy South to offer shared community ownership.
This site could generate enough renewable energy to power the equivalent of 15,150 homes each year. The proposed solar farm will have a capacity of 44MW. In addition, a 2MW battery is also proposed which would store excess energy generated during the day by the solar panels, which can be released back on to the Grid when there is higher demand for electricity.
The location was carefully chosen. It is naturally screened and on low-grade agricultural land, which is currently farmed and used for grazing sheep. It offers an opportunity to connect to the grid economically, making this a great spot for a solar farm.
Public consultation is very important and we value your feedback.
You are invited to attend a drop-in event to find out more about the project and ask any questions.
The event will take place on Thursday 13th February from 3–7pm at Selborne Village Hall, High Street, Selborne, Hants GU34 3JW. Drop in at any time to speak to the team.
If you are not able to attend this session, there will be an opportunity to attend online on Tuesday 25th February at 6pm. Please click here to register.
