Just a week remains before the end of a consultation period over plans by a team led by Windel Energy to comment on plans Fosse Green Energy to create a solar and energy storage south west of Lincoln, in North Kesteven.
The proposed site straddes the A46, known as Fosse Way, and will be made up of solar photovoltaic (PV) 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.
So far, five events have been held, during which local communities were able to learn more about the project, ask questions directly to the project team and leave feedback. In total over 450 people attended these events and we received valuable feedback which will be considered in the design of Fosse Green Energy.
Once consultation closes, the project team will consider all the feedback submitted, alongside the findings from ongoing technical and environmental studies. A second stage of consultation is planned to be held in early 2024.
Mark Sandles, Development Director at Windel Energy said: “We are pleased to have met so many people at our events and to hear your views on Fosse Green Energy. We are committed to considering and listening to all comments and are looking for more feedback before consultation closes on 20 October.
“We are particularly looking for feedback on the locations we have identified for the solar and energy storage park and grid connection corridors, and on suggestions for community projects we could support as part of our proposals.”
