Project information

The Droves Solar Farm is a proposed project located on land between Swaffham and Castle Acre in West Norfolk. It includes a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to store excess energy, allowing it to be released when required. Ongoing survey work is helping to identify areas for solar development, cabling, and environmental enhancements within the site.

Due to the size of the potential energy capacity proposed for the Droves Solar Farm, the project is classified as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP).

Further details of the project: drovessolarfarm.co.uk

Status

In September and October 2024, we will invite local councillors, technical specialists, and community organisations to participate in (Co) workshops as part of the early design process.
