Overview

We are holding a statutory consultation on our proposals for Fosse Green Energy, a new solar energy and storage project south west of Lincoln, in North Kesteven.

The project is made up of a ground-mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) generating station with battery storage, onsite substations and associated infrastructure to generate and export/import electricity in excess of 50MW, as well as areas of landscaping and biodiversity enhancement.

It also includes a grid connection corridor of approximately 10km in length, which will connect the site to the proposed new National Grid Substation near Navenby, using a 400 kV underground cable corridor. Fosse Green Energy will then export and import electricity to the national grid.

Location

Fosse Green Energy is proposed to be located on land 5.6 miles (9 km) south west of Lincoln in North Kesteven, Lincolnshire. To the east of the Solar PV array area, we are looking at a cable corridor to transport electricity through underground cables to a connection point into the national grid.
