Planning consent was received for Fenland Farm in November 2014 and for Green End in December, and Hanwha tasked GSE – a joint venture between AG Renewables and Ingenious Clean Energy – with the construction and grid connection of both projects.
Hanwha provided Q CELLS Q.Pro-G3 modules and has assumed the operations and maintenance of both plants, which take the supplier’s UK portfolio to 70MW in capacity.
Mauro di Fiore, VP global EPC/utility at Hanwha Q CELLS, said the company was satisfied with its partnership with GSE and would look to collaborate with them in the future.
