The Mowbray site will incorporate:

• the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)

• a transmission connected substation
• large areas of new tree planting to support local wildlife and help screen the site

As well as the detailed plans for the BESS, we will be sharing details of our Community Energy Transition Foundation, which will enable communities to become the most sustainable in the UK. Should the project go ahead, the foundation will invest in local initiatives that support the transition to net zero, ensuring significant local benefits from the delivery of national infrastructure.

Our consultation process runs from 29^th November 2024 to 16^th December 2024.

Your feedback is invaluable and, where possible and appropriate, we will look to incorporate your comments into our evolving plans. This information will assist in informing the final proposal for our planning application, which will be submitted to North Yorkshire Council.

To leave feedback on this project, please fill out the online questionnaire (linked below), which includes an opportunity for free comment.

We held an information event on 29th November for the local community, where members of the team were on hand to answer questions and discuss the proposals in more detail.

If you were unable to attend the consultation event or wish to provide any feedback on the proposals, please contact us, using the details at the bottom of this page.

Once we have reviewed all the feedback, we will finalise our plans and submit a full planning application to North Yorkshire Council. As part of the application, we will submit a document that summarises the comments received from the local community. North Yorkshire Council will then conduct its own statutory consultation before determining the application.
