Overview
Frog's Loke Solar Farm is a 5 MW operational solar PV facility in the United Kingdom, contributing to the country's renewable energy capacity.
Frog's Loke Solar Farm is a solar photovoltaic (PV) facility located in the United Kingdom, with an operational capacity of 5 MW. The plant is owned by Frogs Loke Solar and is currently operational, supporting the UK's transition to low-carbon energy sources. The facility operates under the UK's regulatory framework for renewable energy, which includes the Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme and the Renewables Obligation. Solar PV is a key technology in the UK's renewable energy mix, with installations ranging from small rooftop systems to utility-scale farms like this one. As a solar farm, Frog's Loke contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and diversifying the UK's energy supply. Its electricity is fed into the national grid, helping to meet the country's renewable energy targets and providing clean power to local communities.
Environmental context
Solar farms like Frog's Loke require land for panel installation, which can impact local land use and visual landscapes. However, they produce no emissions during operation and have a low environmental footprint compared to fossil fuels. The UK's temperate climate allows for moderate solar generation, and the facility's location in Norfolk benefits from relatively high solar irradiance for the region.
