Since 2020, NextEnergy annually enhances 15 of its UK solar farms with additional biodiversity measures under a Universal Biodiversity Management Plan (UBMP). These measures include wildflower meadows, bug hotels, bird and bat boxes, hibernacula and nectar-rich shrub planting and have been selected to provide maximum biodiversity uplift across a wide range of taxa at scale.

As part of this UBMP initiative, NextEnergy installed several additional nesting boxes and bat boxes at Bottom Plain Solar farm, in Dorset, to provide secure nesting and refuge to local species. During an ecological walkover survey in May 2022, owl pellets found near one of the boxes indicated owls had moved in.
