Development Consent Order Approved for 740 MW Solar Farm in the UK
The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero has approved the Development Consent Order (DCO) application for the 740 MW One Earth solar farm with associated battery storage, located in Nottinghamshire near the border of Lincolnshire, UK.
The project comprises the construction of a solar farm and collated battery energy storage system (BESS) that would allow for the generation, export and storage of electricity exceeding 50 MW.
The application was submitted to the Planning Inspectorate for consideration by One Earth Solar Farm on 27 February 2025 and accepted for examination on 27 March 2025.
Following an examination during which the public, statutory consultees and interested parties were given the opportunity to give evidence to the Examining Authority, recommendations were made to the Secretary of State on 08 April 2026.
The solar farm will produce sufficient clean, sustainable electricity to supply approximately 200,000 households.
