Welcome to the

Flaxlands Solar Farm Website

Project Introduction

Ampyr Solar Europe (ASE) is developing a proposal for a solar farm and battery energy storage system to the west of the village of Hook in Wiltshire. The proposed solar farm will cover 87 hectares at Flaxlands 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 – over two times the size of Royal Wooton Bassett.

The clean energy generated will save on average 21,000 tonnes of CO₂ per year, which is equivalent to approximately 54 million miles driven by an average petrol powered car.

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

Community consultation

The project is still at an early stage and we are currently carrying out technical work and environmental surveys. Please keep an eye on this section of the website where we will publish more details, including consultation dates and how you can be involved in the consultation process.
