EDF Renewables seeks UK solar feedback

Posted on 29 September 2023

Consultation is underway on plans for a proposed new English solar farm with battery storage located between Buckingham and Aylesbury.

Under development by EDF Renewables UK and PS Renewables, the Rosefield site is classified as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) because its generating capacity will be over 50MW.

Parts of the Rosefield project would be used for recreational, landscape and ecological enhancements, with consultation seeking feedback on these as well as on the early layout proposals.

The consultation will run for six weeks, closing on Friday 10 November 2023.

Feedback from local communities will help shape the proposals for the scheme and identify potential benefits that it could support in the local area.

EDF Renewables UK’s director of solar, storage and private wire Matthew Boulton, said: “We are currently at the earliest stages of the development of Rosefield Solar Farm, with local views vital to helping us develop our plans.

“We encourage everyone to get in touch, meet with us and share their views during the consultation.

“Climate change is a challenge we must all play our part in addressing – from the small changes in our everyday lives to the transformational changes we need to make across our whole economy.

“Solar is an important part of the way we can meet this challenge – it is reliable and can be built quickly compared to other types of renewable technologies.

“This is particularly important as the UK focuses on boosting its domestic supply of clean energy.”
