About this project

The description is as the source gives it.

United Utilities installed Europe's first commercial floating solar array on Godley Reservoir to generate renewable electricity for on-site use at the adjacent water treatment works. The project reduces reliance on grid electricity and cuts Scope 2 emissions through on-site renewable generation. Evidence: "Energy from the panels is expected to save hundreds of tonnes of carbon per year." — https://www.newcivilengineer.com/innovative-thinking/how-a-floating-solar-farm-powers-water-treatment-16-04-2019/
