Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

1. Why is the Jubilee Energy Hub needed?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The UK government\u2019s recent Energy Security Strategy in April 2022 calls for a target of up to 70 gigawatts (GW) of solar electricity generation by 2035. This is an ambitious national challenge, and meeting the government\u2019s target for affordable, home-grown renewable electricity will require projects with a large generating capacity to be delivered around the UK. The proposed Jubilee Energy Hub would contribute over 3GWh per annum towards this target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

2. Where is the Jubilee Energy Hub located and how much electricity will be generated?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The project will be located to the east and west of Blyth, in Nottinghamshire and connects into the National Grid via a new substation, which will connect to the existing overhead pylon line that runs across the proposed project site. The project is in the early stages of development, and more details including the proposed equipment locations and types will be provided in the coming months when the project is more developed. In basic terms, the proposal is for a 350MWp solar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

3. How will the local community benefit?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Starlight want the Jubilee project to be a success and in doing so, they want to ensure that the local community will also benefit from the success of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the proposals take shape over the coming months, we will be consulting with local communities and gathering feedback on how Jubilee Energy Hub can further provide a positive impact in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

4. Does solar energy work well in the UK?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Absolutely, solar works well everywhere in the UK. It can already produce as much as 30% of UK electricity at different points in the year. It is radiation from the sun, rather than temperature, heat or direct sunlight, that enables solar PV panels to generate electricity. Solar panels do not need direct sunlight to operate and produce power all year round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

5. Do the public generally support solar deployments in the UK?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Definitely. According to UK government surveys, solar is the most popular energy source. Data in 2021 showed that 90% of the public supported it. When asked about a solar farm being built in their local area, 81% of respondents in 2022 said they were not opposed. Only 3% were significantly opposed, while 8% felt that a solar farm would not be feasible locally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
