Welcome
Thank you for visiting our website which is here to provide information and ways to feedback on our plans for a solar farm on land at Dykewood Farm, east of Beeston, west of Longham, and south-west of Bittering.
We are Regener8, our vision is to help power the country towards more reliable, affordable, and clean energy through quality and innovative schemes, which do more than just generate and store clean energy, but also benefit the local community.
Founded in 2018, we focus on the development of high-quality solar and energy storage projects. At the moment, we have almost 50 projects across the UK, Italy and Poland.
In 2019, Breckland District Council declared a climate emergency, and has since agreed a Sustainability Strategy that commits the Council to becoming a net zero carbon emissions organisation by 2035, with a focus on three themes: reducing their own climate impact as an organisation; using regulatory powers to influence others to be more sustainable, and enabling communities to take action for themselves.
We have been working with our consultants and the landowners to bring plans forward. We are now keen to discuss the emerging plans with the community, listen to feedback and understand how you think the plans can be improved.
Public Consultation
We held a public consultation event on 28th March at Beeston Village Hall to discuss the emerging plans with the wider community, listen to your feedback, and ensure the impacts are minimised and wider opportunities maximised.
Our public consultation closed on Friday 11th April.
Thank you to everyone who took part in the public consultation.

Some of the key benefits include:
The displacement of thousands of tonnes of CO2 from equivalent fossil fuel energy.
Significant biodiversity net gain through new planting, wildlife corridors and wildflower grassland.
Sheep could continue to graze on the site.
A community benefit fund will be provided to support local causes.
Business rates payments to the Council, which can be spent on local services and infrastructure.
The 49.9MW development could generate enough clean energy to power thousands of homes a year and improve local biodiversity by a large margin, while continuing to contribute towards food production with sheep grazing around the solar panels.
