If approved, Kingfisher Solar Farm will have a generation capacity up to approximately 320 MW of solar energy. The project includes plans to build the necessary infrastructure to transfer this electricity to the national grid.

The proposed Kingfisher Solar Farm would be located in the East Riding of Yorkshire, approximately three miles north of the town of Beverley, to the east of the A164. It would connect via an underground cable to the Creyke Beck substation situated to the north of Cottingham.

Ørsted has been working in the Humber region for over a decade with several offshore wind farms situated in the North Sea, off the East Yorkshire & Lincolnshire coast.

These include what are currently the world’s largest offshore windfarms, Hornsea 1 and Hornsea 2. Over 600 people work out of Ørsted’s East Coast Hub in Grimsby and are involved in the long-term operations and maintenance of the wind farms, supporting additional jobs in the local supply chain. Hornsea 3 is currently under construction and Hornsea 4 is in development. To find out more visit the Hornsea 3 and the Hornsea 4 websites.

Ørsted is committed to supporting local needs whilst addressing broader energy challenges. Ørsted supports the communities where it constructs and operates its renewable energy assets through grants, donations, and sponsorships. In the Humber region alone, we have invested more than £45 million directly into local community, education, and skills development.
