Welcome to the

Cotes Heath Solar Consultation Website

Project information

Ampyr Solar Europe is developing proposals for a solar development in Staffordshire, to the east of the village of Cotes Heath. We are proposing an approximately 24-hectare (ha) solar development within the overall 30 ha site, and its development will be a major step towards a sustainable future for Staffordshire.

The clean energy generated will save an estimated 5,100 tonnes of CO2 per year, or over 250,000 tonnes of CO2 over its 50-year lifespan.

The project will be able to supply the equivalent electricity needs of 7,400 homes per year.

Ampyr Solar Europe is exploring the development of a Community Benefit Fund.

Biodiversity is a key aspect of detailed project design.

The project supports Stafford Borough Council’s vision ‘to create a green, healthy and resilient Stafford Borough where everyone can thrive, by limiting the impacts of climate change and meeting our climate change and green recovery commitments’
