Boom Power is close to wrapping up the second consultation for its 50MW Fenwick solar farm in Doncaster, England.
There is just over a week left for people to give their views on the plans and interested parties have until 11.59pm on Friday 31 May 2024 to provide the project team with feedback.
The scheme will deliver enough carbon-free electricity to power approximately 75,000 homes, which is important at a time of increased energy insecurity, and will make a significant contribution towards the UK meeting its net zero targets and will deliver against Doncaster City Council’s priorities around tackling climate change and generating more electricity from renewable sources, said the developer.
The consultation is an opportunity for local residents and other stakeholders to learn more about the proposals and provide their comments. Developer Boom Power will consider all of the comments it receives before making an application for development consent, it said.
Fenwick Solar Farm qualifies as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP), meaning that the Planning Inspectorate, as well as the Secretary of State for Climate Change and Net Zero, must approve the plans before construction can begin.
Boom Power currently anticipates submitting a Development Consent Order later in 2024.
