River Trent Solar Farm

Working to power over 14,500 homes with clean, secure, renewable energy, while supporting nature and providing lasting benefits for the local community.

In the UK, we need to generate large amounts of renewable energy to help ensure energy security and to combat climate change. Published in November 2024, Clean Power 2030¹ proposes a trebling of solar energy generation from 15 GW to 47 GW by 2030. The government’s Clean Power 2030 Action Plan² seeks to enhance energy security by increasing "homegrown" renewable energy production, such as solar, aiming to reduce reliance on expensive gas imports. By increasing domestic clean energy sources to meet the UK's electricity demand, the plan seeks to build a more stable and secure energy system that is less vulnerable to international price volatility and supply disruptions.

To meet the government’s net zero and climate change targets as set out in Make Britain a Clean Energy Superpower (2024)³, boosting our solar energy capacity is essential. The proposed River Trent Solar Farm would would help North Lincolnshire Council enact its Climate Action Plan, a key aim of which is to enable the development of strategic low-carbon infrastructure to support the transition away from fossil fuels.”

Qualitas Energy will apply for planning permission for River Trent Solar Farm to North Lincolnshire Council. We anticipate that our application will be submitted in March 2026 following engagement and consultation with the local community.
