The project aims to build 1,500 homes, a nursery and primary school as well as environmental elements including two solar farms and a wetland nature reserve.

Ahead of the G7 Summit in Carbis bay, the Prime Minister touted new government funding for infrastructure and industry in Cornwall, saying that the projects are "a fitting legacy for a region playing host to some of the most important diplomatic talks in a generation.

The 10,000 photovoltaic modules installed in the Carland Cross project in Cornwall County in southern England will supplement the existing 20MW wind power station and 1MW battery energy storage system

These plans to use solar energy and energy storage to retrofit British utility wind power plants were first announced at the end of 2019. Prior to this, the company also applied for the construction of a 40MW solar power station and 10MW battery energy storage supporting project in Scotland. The project uses the private wire connection of the pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline.

The development of the 40MW solar power station and 50MW battery energy storage of the wind power station is also proceeding as planned. The Whitelee Wind Power Station is currently the largest onshore wind power station in the UK. These projects are used to support green hydrogen production.
