Living Energy Solar Farm Energised in Devon
PS Renewables is proud to announce the successful energisation of Living Energy Solar Farm at Wells Farm, Devon — a 6.75 MWp project now generating clean, renewable electricity for homes and businesses.
Living Energy has been developed and constructed by the PS Renewables in-house team. The project represents a true team effort and was completed safely, efficiently, and to the highest technical and environmental standards.
With a total AC capacity of 6.0 MVA, the 6.65-hectare site will generate enough renewable energy to power around 2,000 homes each year, reducing carbon emissions by approximately 1,500 tonnes of CO₂ annually.
Environmental stewardship has been central to the project’s design and delivery. Guided by the Landscape & Ecological Management Plan (LEMP), the project incorporates a range of biodiversity enhancements, including the planting of over 230 metres of new native hedgerow, the creation of wildflower and meadow grassland beneath the panels, and the installation of bird and bat boxes to encourage nesting and roosting. Wildlife-friendly fencing ensures natural movement corridors remain open, while the site’s long-term management avoids chemical fertilisers and pesticides, focusing instead on soil health and habitat diversity.
“Living Energy is a fantastic example of collaboration across every discipline,” said Tim Tucker, UK Operations Project Manager. “From planning through to energisation, the team’s professionalism and dedication have delivered another high-performing and environmentally sensitive solar farm.”
The Living Energy Solar Farm is a testament to PS Renewables’ ongoing commitment to building reliable, sustainable energy infrastructure that supports the UK’s transition to net zero while delivering lasting benefits to local communities and the environment.
