Dunsfold solar park powers BBC's Top Gear studio
The aerodrome at Dunsfold Park in Surrey is infamous as the home of BBC's Top Gear test track and studios. However, the park now has another claim to fame; Dunsfold Park has become one of the nation's only business parks to be fed entirely on 'green energy'.
The project was developed by Lightsource Renewable Energy Ltd with funding provided by Octopus Investments. Under the agreement, Dunsfold Aerodrome lease Lightsource the required land for the solar installation and in return receive unlimited use of the electricity generated as Lightsource recoups its investment through the associated feed-in tariff income.
