Project updates – March 2026

  • We have produced a community newsletter to provide a project update. This newsletter includes updated masterplans and other maps to show how the project design has changed in response to feedback.
  • You may see members of our team on site completing environmental surveys which are needed for our environmental impact assessment. There is no construction underway.
  • We are currently working to complete the Environmental Impact Assessment and other application documents that we will submit in May 2026 to the Planning Inspectorate.

Project information

Whitestone is a proposed solar farm with associated battery storage that would be located in South Yorkshire between Rotherham and Doncaster and connect into the National Grid at the new Brinsworth Substation. Click here to see the updated masterplans and how the project has changed over time.

Community consultation

We are now conducting a targeted consultation on a number of small changes to the project boundary. If you have been identified as a consultee for this targeted consultation, please click here for more information.

Development process

Because Whitestone would generate more than 100MW of energy, it is considered a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP). This means we need to apply for a Development Consent Order (DCO) which will be decided at the national level by the Secretary of State. Click here to learn more about the development process.
