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 Stone Cottages, east of Botesdale, west of Wortham and north west of Burgate Little
Green.
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, Mid Suffolk District Council recognised and declared a climate emergency, making a commitment to look for ways that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions - and support Suffolk’s aim of becoming carbon neutral by 2030.
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 7th April at Wortham Village Hall to discuss the emerging plans with the wider community, to listen to your feedback, and ensure the impacts are minimised and wider opportunities maximised. Thank you to everyone who attended.
The period of public consultation and feedback window is now closed - thank you to everyone who provided feedback on the proposals.
We will consider all comments before we finalise our plans. We intend submitting a planning application in May 2025.

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.
