👀 Last week saw a number of big news stories break, not least the results of the US election, though there was plenty going on at a more local level too. ☀️ There are reported plans from Renewable Power Capital and Elmya for a 5,000 acre solar project between Diss and Long Stratton, which could be 900MW in size - though firm details are yet to emerge, while ⏩ National Grid is looking at potentially speeding up the delivery of two power cable projects - the 114-mile Tilbury to Norwich scheme and 90-mile Sea Link project. Opergy Group MD, Johnathan Reynolds said: "It’s not just about the speed – these projects must also set a precedent in sustainability, driving local skills, supply chain growth and wider regional and environmental benefits. This includes ensuring that infrastructure expansion is conducted with environmental stewardship in mind, minimising impacts on natural habitats and supporting biodiversity." As well as habitats and environments, supporting communities will be paramount too. While renewable energy projects have their obvious benefits, they are impactful for communities therefore ensuring that local areas are able to grasp all the opportunities on offer to drive community changes, growth and sustainability will also be vital.
