East Green Energy installs large floating solar array in Suffolk
What happened
East Green Energy installed a 1,250 panel floating solar system at Suffolk Fresh's water reservoir in Suffolk. The array, which was installed in November last year, has already produced around 500 megawatt hours of energy. Based on its performance, the system is projected to reduce imported energy consumption for the producer's glasshouses by more than a fifth.

Why it matters
The project demonstrates East Green Energy's specialization in solar PV and battery storage, having designed, installed, and maintained the array while importing parts from Germany. The energy produced is equivalent to the yearly consumption of 45 to 50 average UK homes. The firm employs about 20 people from its base in Melton.
