🌞 Driving the UK Energy Transition with British Steel 🌍
Elements Green is proud to announce a multi-million-pound partnership with Pro Renewables that puts British steel at the heart of the Great North Road Solar & Biodiversity Park.
Located near Newark, this landmark project will generate enough clean energy to power every home in Nottinghamshire, while delivering a significant boost to the local economy.
Why this partnership matters:
✅ All mounting frames for the site will be made exclusively from British steel – a first for a UK solar park of this scale.
✅ The steel will be produced in a UK electric arc furnace coming online in 2027, reducing the project’s carbon footprint.
✅ This commitment supports British labour, creating new job opportunities in Newark and Sherwood, including 400 jobs during construction and 10 new roles in on-site manufacturing.
With an estimated 6,637 miles of steel – enough to stretch from London to Kuala Lumpur – and a weight equivalent to three Eiffel Towers, this project highlights the UK’s capacity for innovation and sustainability.
But it’s not just about energy: this partnership aligns with our vision for a healthier planet, lower energy bills, and stronger local communities. By reducing HGV movements by 650 trips and cutting material transportation emissions, Elements Green is building a more sustainable future, right here in the UK.
Our UK Project Director Mark Noone highlights that this partnership strikes an essential balance by supporting British businesses, reducing energy costs, and advancing the renewable energy transition.
📢 The Great North Road Solar & Biodiversity Park is currently in the pre-application stage, but its potential to enhance UK energy security and lower household bills is clear.
We’re excited to keep pushing boundaries, creating value, and contributing to a brighter, greener future for all.
