Kingsway Solar
Project Update September 2026
Following the withdrawal of our DCO Application earlier this year, Kingsway Solar Farm are pleased to announce that we expect to resubmit the Application at the end of October 2026.
Kingsway Solar Farm Limited has considered, and where appropriate, addressed the issues raised by the Planning Inspectorate and stakeholders in order to bring forward the strongest possible proposals for this critical national infrastructure project.
If the DCO Application is accepted by the Planning Inspectorate, all documents will be available on the national infrastructure consenting website and you will be able to register your interest in the examination process.
The Scheme
Kingsway Solar Farm Limited is developing proposals for a new solar farm and overhead line connection to the national grid between Burwell and Balsham in Cambridgeshire (the "Scheme").
The scheme would have capacity to generate around 500 megawatts (MW) of electricity, the equivalent of powering approximately 175,000 homes annually.
It would also include associated infrastructure, including co-located battery energy storage systems (BESS) and inter-array connections to link together the land parcels where the solar panels are located.
Our Vision and Objectives
Our vision for Kingsway Solar is to deliver cleaner, greener, and lower-cost energy, whilst delivering direct benefits to the local environment and community.
Generate renewable electricity to support the transition to net zero and the UK’s ambition to be increasingly self-sufficient in energy
Produce clean energy for the equivalent of approximately 175,000 homes
Deliver a Scheme that enhances local ecology and achieves Biodiversity Net Gain
Work with the local community to support community initiatives throughout the lifetime of the Scheme
