In late June, we held three Public Information Days in Lockington, Beverley and Walkington to introduce the proposals for Clean Air Solar Farm, which will power around 160,000 homes with sustainable energy.

More than 500 local people including residents, county and parish councillors, and business owners attended these information events. If that included you, thank you for giving us your time, particularly during the hot weather.

At these events the project team discussed a wide variety of topics. These included questions on how a solar farm and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) would work, our site selection process, how we approach biodiversity and what would happen during construction.

We’ll be publishing the answers to the most frequently asked questions on this website, later in July.

Webinar

For those unable to attend our Public Information Days in person, we also held a webinar where the project team talked through the proposals and answered questions from participants.

This was an engaging session with some excellent questions posed – thank you to the attendees. You can watch the recording from that webinar here.

Feedback forms

The feedback period following our June 2026 Public Information Days closed on 13 July 2026. We are no longer accepting online or postal feedback for this stage. Thank you to everyone who responded. Feedback received will help inform the developing proposals.

Pre-application community benefit fund

We have established a new annual community benefit fund that is available now while the project is in the pre-application phase. This will be managed by local charity, Two Ridings Community Foundation.

You can read more about the fund here, where there is a link to the Two Ridings Community Foundation website to read the grant guidance in full and understand the application process. The deadline for this round of funding is noon on Monday 3rd August 2026.
