Rosefield Solar Farm

Introducing Rosefield Solar Farm  

This website contains information about our plans for Rosefield Solar Farm, a proposed new solar farm with battery storage in Buckinghamshire.

 

We will shortly begin consultation on our updated proposals. The feedback we receive at this stage will help us to further refine the proposals ahead of submitting our DCO application.


Consultation will run for eight weeks between Wednesday 18 September 2024 and 11.59pm on Thursday 14 November 2024.


All of the consultation materials will be available on this website from Wednesday 18 September 2024.

What is Rosefield Solar Farm

Rosefield Solar Farm is a proposed new solar farm with battery storage in Buckinghamshire that would provide enough clean energy to power more than 57,000 homes* and save more than 125,000 tonnes of carbon** every year.

 

Like most solar farms, Rosefield Solar Farm would have a lifespan of around 40 years. Once the panels are removed, the land could be returned to agricultural use. 

 

We are now consulting on our early plans for Rosefield Solar Farm. With input from communities, local authorities and other organisations as well as outputs from our environmental surveys, we will continue to refine our proposals over the coming months.

We also want Rosefield to benefit the local area throughout its lifetime and we will work closely with the community to identify opportunities to support local initiatives.

Why is Rosefield Solar Farm needed?

Rosefield Solar Farm will help the UK build a cleaner, more secure energy system and will make an important contribution to meeting the government’s target of net zero carbon emissions by 2050.

 

The UK is undergoing a major change in the way it meets its energy needs. In 2019, the government legislated to commit the country to achieving ‘net zero’ carbon emissions by 2050 against 1990 levels.

 

*Based upon the average domestic electricity consumption per home (temperature corrected) per the Energy Consumption in the UK (published September 2021, Table C9 of ECUK: Consumption data tables).

 

** Based upon BEIS’s “all fossil fuels” emissions statistic of 450 tonnes of carbon dioxide per GWh of electricity supplied in the Digest of UK Energy Statistics (published 2021).
