Fosse Green Energy is launching the Statutory Consultation ahead of its application for development consent for its solar and energy storage park.
The proposed site straddes the A46, known as Fosse Way, and will be made up of solar photovoltaic panels, battery energy storage areas and associated infrastructure. The solar and energy storage park is expected to provide enough clean energy to power in the region of 110,000 homes.
Fosse Green Energy Ltd, a partnership between Windel Energy and Recurrent Energy, intends to make an application to the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero under Section 37 of the Planning Act 2008 for a DCO for the Proposed Development.
The Proposed Development sits inures controlled by Lincolnshire County Council and North Kesteven District Council, and involves building, operation, maintenance, and decommissioning of a ground-mounted solar photovoltaic generating station with battery storage, onsite substation and associated infrastructure to generate more than 50MW of electricity, as well as areas of landscaping and biodiversity enhancement.
The Proposed Development also includes a Cable Corridor of approximately 10km in length within which a 400kV underground cable will connect to the proposed new National Grid Substation near Navenby. The Proposed Development will export and import electricity to the national electricity transmission network.
This Statutory Consultation follows a non-statutory consultation held in Autumn last year where Fosse Green Energy Ltd presented and sought feedback on a preliminary study area and two grid connection corridor options.
