On 8 April 2026 the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero granted development consent for the Springwell Solar Farm, a proposed solar farm with battery storage and grid connection infrastructure in North Kesteven, Lincolnshire. The project, submitted by Springwell Energy Farm Ltd on 20 November 2024 and accepted for examination on 18 December 2024, underwent a six‑month review that included evidence from the public, statutory consultees and interested parties. The Examining Authority recommended approval to the Secretary of State on 8 January 2026, and the decision was made by Lord Whitehead on behalf of the Energy Secretary’s legal authority. The recommendation and supporting evidence are available on the National Infrastructure Planning website. Journalists may contact the Planning Inspectorate Press Office for further information.
