Kent County Council (KCC) in England announced the acquisition of the Bowerhouse II solar park owned by Ethical Power Ltd.

Covering an area of ​​38 hectares, this solar park includes 39,000 bifacial solar modules and can feed 22,000 MWh of solar power into the grid per year. It contributes to approximately 30% of KCC’s net carbon reduction target by saving 6,000 tons of CO2 emissions annually.

Now the solar farm is operated by LASER Energy, part of KCC’s Commercial Services Group. LASER Energy has appointed asset manager Amberside Energy to manage its interests at the site.

“The Bowerhouse II solar farm is a significant and important step for Kent County Council to achieve its net zero targets. At LASER Energy we are delighted to have Amberside Energy on board to assist us in providing a robust asset management service and are confident that their expertise and experience in this area will ensure the site performs to a high standard works,” said Kane Stockwell, Net Zero Energy Supply Lead at LASER Energy.

Amberside Energy uses big data tools and techniques to perform proactive asset management for the solar farm to increase stability and generation efficiency while complying with industry standards.

“We are proud to be working with industry leaders LASER Energy, LWH Partnership and Ethical Power to ensure the project not only meets all relevant standards, but also achieves its full potential in the years to come. This partnership represents an exciting opportunity for Amberside Energy to make a positive impact on the environment and support the Council’s sustainability initiatives,” said Joe Miletic, Head of Asset and Portfolio Management at Amberside Energy.
