Dear Councillor Share your views on Rosefield Solar Farm
We are now consulting on our early plans for Rosefield Solar Farm, a new solar farm with battery storage capable of providing enough clean, secure energy to meet the needs of around 57,000 homes1 and save more than 125,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide2 emissions every year.
You can find out more information about Rosefield, and view our initial design, in the consultation booklet enclosed with this letter. (click link above)
We have also launched a Rosefield website, www.rosefieldsolarfarm.co.uk where you can view and download our consultation materials, and explore our virtual exhibition.
The consultation
We are consulting on our early plans for Rosefield Solar Farm until 10 November 2023.
We are seeking feedback at this stage to make sure we can consider it while we’re still developing our plans and carrying out our assessments.
As Chair, we would like to invite you to a preview of the public exhibition events we are holding in the local area during the consultation.
This would be an opportunity for you to meet the wider team and discuss the plans in more detail:
• Calvert Green Village Hall and Brickworx Bar on Wednesday, 4 October 2023 between 1 pm-2 pm
*1Based 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) 2 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)
