Welcome to the Lime Down Solar Park project website
Lime Down Solar Park is a new utility-scale solar and battery energy storage project proposed to be built in North Wiltshire. To find out more about our early-stage plans for Lime Down, please visit The Project – Overview webpage.
Lime Down Solar Park is being developed by Island Green Power, a leading developer of renewable energy projects with a focus on utility-scale solar and battery energy storage systems. To find out more about us and our commitments to clean energy generation, please visit the About Us webpage.
Lime Down is proposed to generate 500 megawatts (MW) of clean, renewable solar power. As this exceeds 50 MW, it means the proposals are classified as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP). The development consenting regime for a NSIP comes under the Planning Act 2008. This means to gain permission to build and operate the solar park we need to apply to the Planning Inspectorate for a Development Consent Order (DCO). More information on this application process is available via The Project - Development Process webpage.
