Barnsdale Solar Park

under construction

Renewables developer OnPath Energy has launched construction works on the Barnsdale Solar Park in West Yorkshire, England, which targets an installed capacity of up to 40 MW. The installation of the solar panels and supporting infrastructure is already underway. Goldbeck Solar has been tapped as the lead contractor. Spanning 50 hectares, the site is located between Kippax and Allerton Bywater to the East of Leeds. It is expected to be connected to the National Grid through the nearby Ledston Primary electricity sub-station next spring. The facility is scheduled to go live in the summer of 2026. Barnsdale marks one of two solar energy projects that OnPath Energy is working on in Yorkshire. Planning permission for the initiative was granted in 2021. Once operational, the plant will produce enough clean electricity to power up to 13,000 local homes. Brookfield-owned OnPath Energy has more than 3 GW of renewable energy generation and electricity storage in its overall pipeline, with 1.5 GW in the development pipeline.
