A huge new solar farm with battery storage could be built beside an existing onshore wind farm straddling the North Lincolnshire border and the M180.
Leading energy provider and renewables developer RWE is behind the 600MW proposal, named Tween Bridge. The company has just secured a capacity agreement with National Grid - a key step in such developments, and is targeting 2029 as an operational date.
Next year should see consultations open, ahead of a development consent order application for the site, loosely between Crowle and Thorne. RWE already operates Tween Bridge Onshore Wind Farm, with the company stressing the development would not require any additional overhead power lines or further network infrastructure.
