An excellent local energy company, Dorset Community Energy has an application in for a new solar farm that will prioritise serving local consumers with the electricity. Just 'what the doctor ordered', eh?
It's to be located in Dottery which is just above Bridport.
Nice to have something to fight for, instead of against, for a change!
Here is the direct link to the application:
(scroll to bottom, click accept -- then you get to the application)
Here's a message from Dorset Community Energy.

Opportunity to register support for local renewable energy
Dear DCE newsletter subscribers - a special welcome to new subscribers.
In this issue:
- Dottery Solar Array Proposal - your opportunity to comment on the planning application
Best wishes from DCE Directors: Alison, Derek, Emily, Henry, Rose, Tim, and Tom
Dorset Community Energy hope to build a small ground-mounted solar array by the reservoir at Dottery. We plan to make the electricity generated from the proposed array available to local residents via an Energy Local Club. These clubs allow members
to buy cheaper electricity direct from a local renewable energy installation; and allow those generating the electricity to achieve slightly larger income than selling direct to the grid.
Those living close to the array will have the option of joining the Energy Local Club and buying cheaper electricity from the array when it is generating. Anyone living in the area will be able to join the Energy Local Club.
The planning application has been submitted and is open for comment until 25th October. Please do register your support for the scheme, further details and resources are available on the Dottery Page
Click
here to link to the Dottery Page – for further information and guidance on how to respond.
If the planning application is successful funds will be raised via a share offer, presenting an investment opportunity to Dorset residents. Households local to the array, existing Dorset Community Energy members and subscribers to this newsletter will all be
invited to invest.
