Where we are now

Our Phase One Consultation ran for six weeks, from Wednesday 11th September to Wednesday 23rd October 2024. The purpose of this consultation was to introduce RWE, present our early-stage proposals for Lostrigg Solar, and give you the opportunity to provide your feedback.

We would like to thank all those who have participated in our first phase of community consultation, whether this has been through attending one of our exhibition events, contacting our communications channels, or providing feedback.

We are now reviewing all the comments submitted to us during the consultation. Your feedback is integral to the development of Lostrigg Solar in shaping a strong set of proposals that respect the concerns of the local community, while generating clean, renewable electricity.
