Associated British Ports has begun the planning process for the country’s largest floating solar project at the Port of Barrow in north-west England

The Barrow EnergyDock project will see a floating solar array installed at Cavendish Dock with a generating capacity of up to 40MWp, enough to power around 14,000 homes annually.

This initiative is primarily to support Barrow’s advanced engineering sector by providing renewable energy at a more stable and affordable cost.
