Welcome to
Upland Solar

Upland Solar is a proposed solar energy development located between Thornwood Common and Epping Upland. Spanning around 96 hectares (237 acres), the project aims to generate up to 49.9 megawatts (MW) of clean, renewable electricity—enough to power thousands of homes.

The site, currently in arable agricultural use, is split into two distinct parcels (a northern parcel and a southern parcel) positioned on either side of Upland Road.

Developed by Low Carbon, Upland Solar forms part of our mission to accelerate the UK's transition to net zero. At Low Carbon, we develop, build, own and operate large-scale renewable energy projects that contribute to a sustainable and resilient energy system. Our commitment is to protect the planet for future generations by investing in home-grown clean energy that tackles climate change head-on.
