Once operational, Beachampton solar farm will generate enough clean electricity to power around 9,000 homes, while avoiding an estimated 5,700 tonnes of carbon emissions per year.
Planning permission for the project was granted by Buckinghamshire Council on 12th January 2024, with the project due to connect to National Grid Electricity Distribution in early 2027.
As part of the approved plans, and in line with Anesco's commitment to nature-first development, the solar farm will deliver biodiversity net gains, including enhancement of hedgerows, and new woodland trees, supporting local plants and wildlife.
“This acquisition is another step forward in our mission to help accelerate the UK's transition to secure and sustainable, low carbon energy - something that has seen us successfully energize more than 1.1GW of solar and storage assets to date” said Hildagarde McCarville, Anesco CEO. “Having established a strong pipeline of solar and BESS projects ourselves, we are excited to further enhance and expand it through strategic partnerships such as this.”
Anesco specializes in the design, construction, maintenance, operation and optimization of grid-scale solar and energy storage assets. Founded and headquartered in Reading, England, Anesco has energized more than 1.1 GW of solar and storage assets, while its renewables operation and maintenance arm has more than 1.6 GW of renewable energy under management. The company has a growing presence across Northern Europe, including within the Netherlands, Denmark and Belgium.
“We are delighted to have sold another ready to build solar farm project” added James Stoney, business development director, One Planet. "One Planet has planning consent for 100MW of solar across two sites with a further five projects totaling 223 MW in planning and development. It also has three consented Battery Energy Storage sites totaling 500 MW. We look forward to further sales of our 800 MW portfolio over the coming year."
One Planet Developments develops and oversees construction of large scale solar and energy storage sites in the UK. The company is advancing over 1 GW of solar and battery projects in the UK under a joint venture with Viridi RE GmbH and Green Enesys Group. Viridi and Green Enesys are established renewable energy developers with a proven track record and a robust combined pipeline of around 12 GW spanning Europe, North America, and South America. As Client Representative for a FTSE250 client One Planet oversaw the construction and energization of a 20 MW solar farm in 2025.
