extended project insights supply concept alternatives (grid connected)
o Directly connected to the existing grid."
o Up to 9.23m kWh of green electricity produced close to your parish will be fed into the national grid on an annual basis.. "

o Supplying largest Industry in South Marston with clean energy."
o Besides 4.2m kWh green electricity p.a. already supplied with, annual production of approx. 9.2m kWh and 10,000 t CO2 reduction"

extended project insights South Marston Farm in operation
o The South Marston farm site from the air"
o Supplying largest Industry in South Marston with clean energy."
o Besides 4.2m kWh green electricity p.a. already supplied with, annual production of approx. 7m kWh and 10,000 t CO2 reduction"

extended project insights South Marston Farm in operation
o Lessons learned!
o DECC changes to tariffs changed everything last year, post-planning approval"
o Intense time pressure coupled with excessive demands from county archaeologist forced design changes to foundations (these won’t be as visible after grass cover established by spring)"
o Time pressure also forced change to connection point – building and connecting a new substation to local grid could not have happened before tariff cut deadline. Honda provided that option with existing facility."
o Some residents understandably disappointed to lose opportunity to buy locally-produced green energy"
o New ROC funding scheme allows bigger projects with certainty beyond March 2013."
o Construction partner was chosen too quickly, too sloppy, too dismissive of residents’ needs and will not be used again"
o Delays in clearing snagging list, partly due to inhospitable weather conditions, meant spring planting season was missed for 2012. It will be in full bloom in summer 2013."

extended project insights development scenarios (amended module planning)
o Lowering the direct visual impact from the village"
o Creating a benefit for children and adults"
o Building small sections of solar allotments available for priority purchase by local residents, and connected to lower voltage line along Nightingale Lane "
o Fostering flora and fauna"
> "Dedicated greenspace for the local community to fend off the inevitable urban expansion of Swindon into adjoining villages as per Eastern Development plans!

benefits for the community
Ecological & environmental benefits Social & educational benefits
o Ecological impact – diversification of fauna and flora as the site thrives without fertiliser for the life of the project "
o Increase flood prevention"
o Active reduction of carbon footprint"
o PV system as quiet and visually unobtrusive energy plant"
o Sheep grazing continues use of the land as an agricultural plot"
o Cooperation with local schools to educate and inspire the younger generation about the benefits of renewable energy and why it is important to our future"
o Site visits - to learn about solar parks as a valuable, functioning member of the world’s energy portfolio"
o Presentations with facts and figures to incorporate into a variety of subjects – mathematics, biology, physics, geography, economics "
o Job skills training – helping local job seekers acquire the skills to become part of a rapidly growing industry"
o Donation to the parish council in the form of solar panels for the village hall, a direct link to renewable energy, or as an annual donation to spend on community issues."
“Good to be part of the renewable energy development in UK. And I can still use my land for sheep grazing. I decided to work with aee renewables ‘cause they were the most genuine people I got to know within this sector so far.“

Switching to Good Energy, the UK’s only supplier of 100% renewable energy, for
households or businesses near AEE solar farm projects means…�
...make your contribution to avoid CO2 emissions (approx. 2 tons per year for a typical
household) and slow down climate change.
…use local green electricity even without your own solar panels, you know where it comes from.
…do something good and pay less by benefitting from an immediate £50 credit per
residential household or enterprise and, if the local AEE project gets planning consent and is built, an
additional credit of £50 in each of the following three years.

other key developments- Eastern Development Area
o The Eastern Development Area plans to extend Swindon by 9000+ houses"
o South Marston will be on the boundary of this development planned for start in 2014!
o Could Sevor Farm help provide renewable energy for this development instead of a proposed CHP plant close to the site?"
