Great North Road Solar and Biodiversity Park
Elements Green is developing proposals for a new solar and energy storage park located to the northwest of Newark-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire.
With a potential generation capacity of around 800 megawatts (MW) AC of solar energy, the scheme has the potential to provide enough clean, affordable energy to meet the power needs of approximately 400,000 homes.
Overview
The project is classified as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) because the amount of electricity it could generate exceeds 50MW. Click here to find out about the development process.
The scheme’s proximity to the A1, historically known as ‘The Great North Road’ was the inspiration for the project name. Click here for a map showing the location of GNR Solar Park.
GNR Solar Park would support UK energy security and contribute to tackling the cost-of-living crisis through the reduction of household energy bills. Click here to learn more about the project.
Public consultation will inform and influence the development of our proposals. Click here to find out about what our second phase of community consultation involved.
This webpage will be updated to include information about any future consultation opportunities.
