About Tween Bridge Solar Farm
Tween Bridge Solar Farm is a proposed renewable energy development located east of Thorne, adjacent to RWE’s existing Tween Bridge Wind Farm. With an anticipated generation capacity of up to 600MW, the solar farm could be operational by 2029. The project plans to connect directly to an existing National Grid overhead line, eliminating the need for additional overhead power lines or major network infrastructure.
Once constructed, the land would simultaneously host both solar power generation, battery storage, onshore wind and animal husbandry. It is planned for Tween Bridge Solar Farm to become one of the largest lowland sheep farms in the country and an opportunity has also been identified for a bee farm on the site.
