โThis was my first time visiting a solar farm, and it was a great learning experience. It was interesting to see that energy generation can coexist with agriculture and biodiversity, with sheep grazing naturally maintaining the land. The Lightsource bp team also shared valuable insights into electricity markets, making the visit more engaging. Their strong emphasis on safety protocols stood out to me, ensuring efficient operations and a secure environment for workers and visitors.โ โ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ธ๐๐ต๐ถ ๐ฅ๐ผ๐ป๐ด๐ต๐ฒ, MSc in Energy Management Student
