White Elm Solar Farm 

A brighter future for Suffolk

We are currently in the early stages of preparing our proposals for a solar farm and battery energy storage system (BESS) within the administrative area of Mid-Suffolk Council, on land north of Mendlesham.

If White Elm Solar Farm is developed, it would generate enough clean electricity to power in excess of 60,000 typical family homes every year in its operation. The solar farm would assist in tackling the climate emergency and help the UK Government reach its target of net zero emissions by 2050.
