Lynx Sustainable Solutions has officially started construction of a substantial solar farm at Larkhill Garrison in Wiltshire, following a successful groundbreaking ceremony held on 23 July 2025 with the Defence Infrastructure Organisation and Aspire Defence. This significant renewable energy project forms part of the Army’s ongoing Project Prometheus.
The solar installation represents a significant addition to the military’s renewable energy infrastructure, featuring 4,020 solar modules with a total capacity of 1,729 kWp. Once operational, the system is projected to generate 1,697 MWh annually, providing clean, sustainable energy to support the garrison’s operations.
The environmental impact of this project is substantial, with the solar farm expected to offset 352 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent annually. This contribution aligns directly with the MOD’s commitment to achieving net-zero emissions and demonstrates the practical implementation of sustainable energy solutions within military infrastructure.
“This project exemplifies our commitment to delivering large-scale renewable energy solutions that make a real difference,” said Nick Kennedy, Joint Managing Director at Lynx Sustainable Solutions. “Working alongside the Defence Infrastructure Organisation and Aspire Defence Services Limited as part of the established Project Prometheus programme allows us to contribute to its environmental sustainability objectives.”
The Larkhill Garrison solar farm showcases how sustainable technology can deliver significant environmental and economic benefits.
Construction is expected to be completed by January 2026, with the system fully operational shortly thereafter.
