Consultation

During this time, we welcome and will consider feedback on all aspects of our proposals for the Project, and are specifically inviting comments on: 

• The design for the five Solar PV Sites, within which the electricity generating station and BESS would be contained;  

• The proposed Cable Route Search Corridor, within which an underground cable would be installed to connect the Solar PV Sites to one another and provide an electrical connection into the national grid at Melksham Substation;  

• The environmental effects of the Project, as detailed in PEIR, which sets out the results of our preliminary environmental assessments and associated mitigation;  

• The timescales and next steps for the Project; and  

• Anything else you think we need to consider.

There are a number of different ways you can take part in our consultation:  

• Join us at a consultation event or webinar to learn more about our proposals, meet the Project team and provide us with your comments.
