EDF Renewables and Luminous Energy have unveiled plans and a public consultation for a solar farm with battery in the UK east Midlands region.
With a potential output of up to 800MW, Springwell Solar Farm, between Lincoln and Sleaford, could provide the equivalent energy to supply around half of all the homes in Lincolnshire.
Consultation on early plans for Springwell Solar Farm will run for six weeks from 24 January.
Feedback from local communities will help shape the plans for Springwell and identify potential benefits that it could support in the local area.
EDF Renewables UK’s Head of Solar, Ben Fawcett, said: “At EDF Renewables UK, we’re passionate about creating a future where clean energy powers our lives.
“Springwell Solar Farm would produce much needed low-carbon electricity here in the UK, helping to power thousands of homes and businesses every year.
“We are currently at a very early stage on Springwell, with local views vital to helping us develop our plans.
“We encourage everyone to get involved in the upcoming consultation to find out more about Springwell and let us know their thoughts.”
Jolyon Orchard, CEO of Luminous Energy, added: “We are looking forward to working with EDF Renewables UK and the local community to create a scheme that delivers affordable, clean energy.”
As part of the consultation, members of the public are invited to a series of public exhibitions to meet the team behind Springwell and share feedback.
