Beane Solar Farm

In December 2024, RES submitted a planning application for the 49.9MW Beane Solar Farm on land west of Cottered, Hertfordshire. The solar farm would include energy storage to help increase the flexibility and generation opportunities of the site.

The solar farm has been carefully designed to enable the continued agricultural use of the site through sheep grazing while generating renewable energy. In addition, the proposals incorporate significant landscaping, habitat creation and ecological enhancement measures, which will improve habitat connectivity, support local wildlife and deliver lasting environmental improvements across the site.

Following ongoing discussions with consultees and careful consideration of comments from stakeholders and the local community on the application, Further Information (FI) has recently been submitted in support of the planning application.
