RES seeks to be a power for good in the communities that neighbour its projects by working openly and constructively to ensure tangible local benefits.
RES is committed to ensuring that, wherever possible, local contractors and employees are used in all aspects of solar farm development. The major opportunities arise during the construction phase when suitably qualified local firms are often invited to bid for different aspects of construction. We encourage our contractors to source construction materials locally (i.e. within the county) and to use local transport and plant hire companies where possible, in addition to local services and amenities.
Once constructed, Varley Solar Farm would deliver business rates annually for the life of the project. South Gloucestershire Council retains 100% of all the business rates due from Renewable Energy businesses (Solar and Wind Farms) to fund vital local services for all local residents.
Generating enough clean, green electricity to power the equivalent of approximately 9,700 homes annually.
