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.
This consultation
Our statutory consultation will run from 21 October 2024 to 23:59 on 2 December 2024.
We welcome your views and feedback to help us finalise the project’s design. You can provide your feedback online, by email or by post. Visit the have your say page to find out more.
This is likely to be our last stage of public consultation on our plans before we submit a DCO application to the Planning Inspectorate.
We would like to hear your ideas on our overall proposals, our Preliminary Environmental Information (PEI) Report, and for opportunities to work with and support the community.
