Welcome to the

Camp Farm Solar Consultation Website

Project Introduction

Ampyr Solar Europe (ASE) is developing a proposal for a solar farm and battery energy storage system to the northwest of the village of Hurley, in North Warwickshire. The proposed solar farm will cover 73 hectares at Camp Farm.

Who is the developer?

This project is being developed by AMPYR Solar Europe, a major new European solar enterprise. Ampyr Solar Europe was created in 2021 through the merger of NaGa Solar with the existing Ampyr Energy UK joint venture between AGP Group and Hartree Partners. Ampyr Solar Europe operates across Germany, UK and the Netherlands, with a 7+ GW (Gigawatt) solar portfolio in development.

We anticipate the solar farm being able to supply the electricity needs of approximately 25,000 homes a year. This will supply an area over 40 times the size of Hurley.

The clean energy generated will save on average 21,000 tonnes of CO2 per year, which adds up to over 800,000 tonnes of CO2 over the next 40 years.

Biodiversity is important to us and we are exploring opportunities for ecological enhancements and creating new habitats.

Community consultation

We held a public consultation on our proposals from 29 May to 30 June 2024. You can still view our consultation information boards and find out more about the proposals on the Project Information page.

Following the consultation, a planning application was submitted to North Warwickshire Borough Council on 19 December 2024 to seek approval for Camp Farm Solar. You can view the application here: http://planning.northwarks.gov.uk/portal/servlets/ApplicationSearchServlet?PKID=131217

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.
