Telis Energy UK, a subsidiary of the Telis Energy Group, has announced the commencement of early-stage development for a 500-600MW solar-battery project in Lincolnshire, UK.
The Leoda Solar Farm project will include a co-located battery energy storage system (BESS) to enhance grid stability and ensure a reliable energy supply during peak demand.
An initial public non-statutory consultation for the Leoda project will commence on 23rd January and run for six weeks, providing an opportunity for community members, local stakeholders, and interested parties to engage with the project team and provide feedback.
“As the UK continues its transition towards renewable energy, projects like Leoda Solar Farm are vital,” said Alex Herbert, Head of Planning at Leoda Solar Farm Ltd. “This project not only supports national goals for net zero emissions but also provides a significant opportunity to invest in our environment, health, and local communities.”
Classified as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) under the Planning Act 2008, the Leoda Solar Farm will undergo a rigorous planning process, with the application reviewed by the Planning Inspectorate before a final decision is made by the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero.
Telis Energy UK, part of the Telis Energy Group, is developing hybrid energy hubs across Europe, focusing on solutions that address the unique energy security and affordability requirements of each community. The Leoda Solar Farm project aligns with the Group’s broader target of delivering 10GW of renewable energy across Europe by 2030.
Telis Energy Group believes that combatting the global challenge of climate change requires a localized approach to energy solutions.
This news release focuses on the key aspects of the project, including the consultation process, the project’s significance in the UK’s energy transition, and Telis Energy Group’s commitment to sustainable and localized energy solutions.
