Welcome to the

Cotes Heath Solar Consultation Website

Project information

Ampyr Solar Europe is developing proposals for a solar development in Staffordshire, to the east of the village of Cotes Heath. We are proposing an approximately 24-hectare (ha) solar development within the overall 30 ha site, and its development will be a major step towards a sustainable future for Staffordshire.

The clean energy generated will save an estimated 5,100 tonnes of CO₂ per year, or over 250,000 tonnes of CO₂ over its 50-year lifespan.

The project will be able to supply the equivalent electricity needs of 7,400 homes per year.

Ampyr Solar Europe is exploring the development of a Community Benefit Fund.

Biodiversity is a key aspect of detailed project design.

The project supports Stafford Borough Council’s vision ‘to create a green, healthy and resilient Stafford Borough where everyone can thrive, by limiting the impacts of climate change and meeting our climate change and green recovery commitments’

Community consultation

The public consultation on our proposals has now closed, and we are carefully considering all the feedback received.

We will provide an update to the community and stakeholders in the coming months, including information about the submission of our planning application. A Statement of Community Involvement detailing how the consultation has been carried out and how feedback has been considered will also be submitted as part of our planning application.

Ampyr Solar Europe is a highly experienced developer and operator of solar and battery storage projects.

Their vision is to become a leading European independent solar power producer, dedicated to helping communities and companies achieve their sustainability objectives by providing them with clean solar energy.
