East Claydon Greener Grid Park

About East Claydon Greener Grid Park 

Greener Grid Parks, including the one proposed at East Claydon will help achieve a renewables-ready network. As renewable energy generation increases across Great Britain, new ways to maintain system stability are required.

We have submitted an Environmental Impact Assessment Screening Request to Buckinghamshire Council to progress our plans for East Claydon Greener Grid Park.

This is not a planning application, but is the earliest stage of the planning process to help inform the key studies that will be required to be undertaken and included in any future planning application. 

We are committed to engaging with local communities and hearing their views and look forward to sharing more details of our emerging plans in early 2025.

This website will be kept updated as our plans progress. 

Why do we need Greener Grid Parks?

Greener Grid Parks are a collection of buildings containing zero carbon technology which stabilise the grid, allowing more renewable energy to be transmitted through the network. They are not a wind or solar farm, the buildings resemble storage units or shipping containers.
