GRIDSERVE
The project enables EV drivers to charge for a range of 200 miles in 20 minutes
The project, the first of a £1 billion nationwide network of electric forecourts, is planned to open before the end of the year
The Clayhill plant has a total solar capacity of 10MW and a 6MW energy storage facility
The move aims to help revolutionise approaches to solar energy, create infrastructure to accelerate the adoption of EVs and hit national net zero targets
The 34.7MW solar facility in York uses technologies such as bifacial panels and trackers to increase solar generation by 20%
It is part of GRIDSERVE’s £1bn UK-wide programme to make EV charging ‘as easy as using petrol stations’
The £1 billion programme will deploy 100 ‘electric forecourts’ to charge EVs in a convenient, ultra-fast and affordable way
The solar farms that will provide electricity will be the “most advanced” in the UK
