Fosse Green Energy’s Solar & Storage Project Consultation!
Windel Energy and Recurrent Energy are excited to announce a statutory consultation for the proposed Fosse Green Energy solar and storage project, located in the picturesque southwest of Lincoln, England. This innovative initiative aims to both export and import electricity to the national electricity transmission network, enhancing the region’s energy infrastructure.
Key to this project is the planned underground cable connection to the proposed new National Grid Substation near Navenby, which is currently under a separate planning application by National Grid. The consultation follows an initial non-statutory exercise in Autumn 2023, where we shared our preliminary study area and two grid connection corridor options.
We’ve listened closely to community feedback and, as a result, we’re unveiling updated plans that not only focus on energy production but also emphasize community benefits. Some of the exciting proposals include:
- Creating permissive paths that connect local villages to Public Rights of Way
- Planting community orchards to enhance local greenery
- Enhancing biodiversity across the project site
- Establishing a community liaison group for ongoing engagement and feedback from local representatives
Lloyd Sandles, Projects Director at Windel Energy, expressed the importance of community input, stating: “The feedback we received at our first consultation has been invaluable in shaping our plans. We have carefully refined a preferred grid connection corridor to minimize social and environmental impact.”
James Whitney, Business Development Manager at Recurrent Energy, added: “The solar panels and associated infrastructure will occupy only a small percentage of the land, allowing us to focus on planting and landscaping that benefits the community.”
We invite everyone to share their thoughts on how Fosse Green Energy can support local communities effectively. Your insights are crucial as we move forward in this collaborative effort to promote sustainable energy solutions in Lincolnshire. Join us in shaping a greener future!
