6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Solar power generation entry threshold policy”
What is the new solar energy threshold?
Although the original consultation proposed making the threshold three times higher than it is currently (150MW up from 50MW), the new framework states any solar generation project over 100MW will be referred to the secretary of state for a development consent order (DCO). The new threshold will apply from the end of 2025.
Why did the government increase the solar energy threshold?
In its response to the consultation on planning reform, the government said the decision to increase the threshold was taken “primarily due to a higher threshold better reflecting the technological advances in solar technology since 2008, when the original threshold was set.
When does the new wind power threshold apply?
The new threshold will apply from the end of 2025. It also applies to onshore wind developments in response to local councils' tendency to refuse wind power plant plans.
Will the government raise the threshold for onshore wind projects?
The Government has outlined in its consultation response that it will raise the threshold for eligible onshore wind projects to those that generate at least 100MW of power.
Do solar farms need planning permission?
Below this threshold, solar farms will require planning permission from the local planning authority (LPA); under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, LPAs are responsible for renewable and low carbon energy development of 50 MW or less installed capacity. against which LPAs draw up Local Plans and determine planning applications.
How will a solar project progress?
Meanwhile, medium-sized solar power and onshore wind projects may progress at increased speed through the planning system under the local rather than centralised system, no doubt with more regard to the Government's priority for solar energy.
