Calderdale Energy Park
A nationally significant renewable energy project located at Walshaw Moor to the north of Hebden Bridge in Calderdale, West Yorkshire.
Statutory Consultation – Wednesday 08 April until Wednesday 10 June 2026
In 2025, we held a non‑statutory consultation on proposals for Calderdale Energy Park. Since then, we have carefully reviewed the feedback received and used it to further develop and refine the project.
We are now carrying out our statutory consultation, presenting an updated design for the Energy Park alongside further technical information about the proposals and their potential effects. This includes the Preliminary Environmental Information Report (PEIR), which sets out the early findings of environmental assessments undertaken to date.
The statutory consultation is an opportunity for local communities, statutory consultees and other stakeholders to review the updated proposals and provide feedback. All feedbacked received will be used to help finalise the proposals for Calderdale Energy Park ahead of the submission of our DCO application later this year.
The statutory consultation is taking place from Wednesday 8 April 2026 and will close at 11:59pm on Wednesday 10 June 2026.
Consultation documents
As part of this consultation, we have published a range of documents, including the Preliminary Environmental Information Report (PEIR). The PEIR explains the environmental assessments undertaken to date and the potential effects that are being considered as the project design is refined.
All the documents, including our PEIR are available to view in our Documents Library.
Consultation events
During the statutory consultation, we are hosting six public exhibitions at local venues, as well as an online webinar. Members of the project team will be available to speak with attendees, explain the proposals and answer questions.
Full details of the consultation events, including dates, times and locations, are available on our Have Your Say page.
How to have your say
You can provide feedback on the proposals by:
- completing the online feedback form,
- attending one of the public exhibitions or the webinar, or
- submitting written comments during the consultation period.
All feedback received by 11:59pm on Wednesday 10 June 2026 will be considered as the proposals are finalised ahead of the submission of a Development Consent Order application later this year.
About the proposal
Calderdale Energy Park is a nationally significant renewable energy project located at Walshaw Moor to the north of Hebden Bridge in Calderdale, West Yorkshire. The current design features 34 wind turbines with a total generation capacity of approximately 240MW.
Calderdale Energy Park presents a key opportunity to support the UK Government’s Net Zero targets, particularly given the strong wind resource at Walshaw Moor. The work carried out to date recognises that Calderdale Energy Park would result in some environmental impacts and includes measures to mitigate these and deliver enhancements across areas of the Walshaw Moor Estate.
We have asked the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero to designate Calderdale Energy Park as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) due to its scale and importance in helping the UK Government deliver its net zero targets by 2050. This would also be consistent with the Government’s proposals to bring onshore wind projects with a generation capacity of at least 100MW into the NSIP regime by the end of 2025.
Approximately 240 MW of renewable energy generation
Providing enough energy to power approximately 198,000 homes per year
Reducing CO2 emissions by approximately 294,000 tonnes each year
