STEP Project at West Burton

Early consultation re: Steeple Renewables Project RES is the world's largest independent renewable energy developer and is exploring proposals for a new renewable energy project in the village of Sturton-le-Steeple, Nottinghamshire. We are writing to let you know that our early informal consultation is now live and will be running for six weeks from Monday 23 October until Monday 4 December 2023. As you may be aware, Steeple Renewables Project is a new renewable energy project located immediately to the south of West Burton power station. It is anticipated that the project could be capable of producing clean, green renewable electricity for approximately 156,884 homes every year, over the course of the project lifetime. This amount of energy would be enough to power almost 45% of all homes in Nottinghamshire.

Our in-person early consultation events will be held on: •

Friday 3 November 2pm - 7pm, South Leverton Memorial Institute, Town St, South Leverton, Retford. DN22 0BT •

Saturday 4 November 10am - 2pm, Sturton Hall and Conference Centre, Brickings Way, Sturton le Steeple, Retford, DN22 9HY

We are also planning to host a Webinar to accommodate those unable to make the in-person events. This will be held on: • Wednesday 29 November 6pm - 7pm, people can sign up to attend this webinar via our project website. We have also established community deposit locations where people can collect copies of the brochures and feedback forms if they are unable to attend our in-person events. These locations are: • Sturton Hall and Conference Centre, Brickings Way, Sturton le Steeple, Retford, DN22 9HY • Gainsborough Library Cobden St, Gainsborough DN21 2NG We have also established our project website, steeplerenewablesproject.co.uk to host our virtual exhibition and provide people with the materials that will be presented at our public events. The feedback we receive will be used to help us develop and refine our proposals before presenting them to the community for statutory consultation next year.

We hope that you take the opportunity to come and view our early plans for Steeple Renewables Project. If you or a member of the community would like further information on our proposals, have any questions or would like to give feedback, you can contact our communications team via email at info@steeplerenewablesproject.co.uk or via phone at 0151 7182 070.
