Project timeline
The project
Downing Renewable Developments are currently developing proposals for Green Data Solar Farm, a new Solar PV scheme to be located near Harlow, Essex.
Green Data Solar Farm will provide power directly to a nearby data centre accelerating the UK's transition to Net Zero and aid a local and high energy user in decarbonising their energy supply.
Green Data Solar Farm will have an installed capacity of up to 40MW, this is equivalent to supplying energy to 12,000 homes annually.
Latest updates
We will be holding our first community engagement event on 19 August at the Hastingwood Village Hall, where we'll provide the opportunity for members of the community to view early-stage plans and provide invaluable feedback on the proposals.
Community Consultation Event One: 19 August 2025 - Hastingwood Village Hall, Glovers Ln, North Weald Bassett, Hastingwood, Harlow - 16:30-19:30.
Site layout
The layout of Green Data Solar Farm will be progressed following site surveys and assessments.

Creating a sustainable future
We have a long-term vision for Green Data Solar Park which will help to address the UK’s energy crisis, provide substantial biodiversity net gain and supports farmers, local agriculture, and the local community.
Our commitments
We will carefully evaluate the impact our development will have on local habitats, plants and ecology to develop a long-term biodiversity management plan.

Community benefits
As this project is still in the early development stages, we welcome feedback on how you'd like to see our community benefit taking shape. We are committed to working closely with the local communities to establish the most meaningful and impactful ways to contribute.
