Initial public non-statutory consultation for the Leoda project starts on 23 January Early-stage development is underway for a 500-600MW solar-battery project in Lincolnshire, in the UK, which is being developed by a subsidiary of Telis Energy. Early land surveys and assessments are already underway, with an initial public non-statutory consultation for the Leoda project scheduled to start on 23 January. This consultation, which will run for six weeks until 6 March, provides an initial opportunity for community members, local stakeholders and interested parties to engage and help shape the project’s design and approach at a formative stage. The co-located battery energy storage system (BESS) will store surplus energy, ensuring a resilient and reliable energy supply during periods of peak demand. “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, a subsidiary of Telis Energy. “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. “We are committed to working closely with stakeholders and residents over the coming months to develop a project that benefits both the region and the country as a whole.” Leoda Solar Farm is classified as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) under the Planning Act 2008. The application will be reviewed by the Planning Inspectorate, who will provide a recommendation to the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero for a final decision. Telis Energy UK, part of the Telis Energy Group, is developing hybrid energy hubs, to help to solve grid challenges. Leoda forms part of the wider group’s target of delivering 10GW of renewable energy across Europe by 2030. Telis Energy Group believe that combatting the global challenge of climate change requires adopting a localised perspective to address the unique energy security and affordability requirements of each country and community. |
