Windel Energy, a UK-based company, is leading the Fosse Green Energy project, which aims to build a solar and energy storage park in Lincolnshire, located in eastern England. The project is expected to generate between 300 to 360 gigawatt hours (GWh) of electricity annually. The company is currently exploring land located north and south of the A46, known as Fosse Way, for the development of the project.
To transport the electricity generated by the solar and energy storage park, Windel Energy is considering either underground cables or an overhead line to a connection point into the national grid. The company is conducting preliminary work to identify the best areas for development, and a number of options for a grid connection corridor are being explored.

Gary Toomey, the managing director of Windel Energy, expressed his enthusiasm for the project: “We are pleased therefore to announce our plans for Fosse Green Energy, which will aim to responsibly provide reliable and sustainable energy, benefit local communities and environments, and help the UK reach its net zero targets.”
The company plans to conduct an initial public consultation on the project in the summer of 2023, followed by a further consultation in early 2024. Windel Energy is committed to consulting widely and effectively to ensure the best results for local communities.
The Fosse Green Energy project is a joint venture between Windel Energy and Canadian Solar. As the project progresses, the companies aim to responsibly provide reliable and sustainable energy to benefit local communities and the environment, while also helping the UK reach its net zero targets.
