Calderdale Energy Park
A nationally significant renewable energy project located at Walshaw Moor to the north of Hebden Bridge in Calderdale, West Yorkshire.
We’re keen to hear from local communities, stakeholders, and anyone with an interest in the project.
We are currently holding a non-statutory consultation and it will run for six weeks from Tuesday 29 April to Tuesday 10 June 2025.
You can find out more about our proposals, how you can contact the team and how you can give your feedback on this website.
Following the end of the consultation period, we will consider all feedback received as we refine our proposals and prepare for a further period of statutory consultation 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 up to 41 wind turbines and battery energy storage system (BESS) with associated infrastructure, with a total generation capacity of approximately 300MW.
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 300 MW of renewable energy generation
Providing enough energy to power approximately 250,000 homes per year
Reducing CO2 emissions by approximately 354,000 tonnes each year
Support local groups and initiatives via a Community Benefit Fund
Get involved
Our first round of non-statutory consultation will run for six weeks from Tuesday 29 April until 11:59pm on Tuesday 10 June 2025.
The proposals for Calderdale Energy Park are not finalised at this stage. They are still subject to change in response to further environmental and technical assessments to be carried out this year. We also want to understand what is important to local communities living close to Walshaw Moor, and those who use it, to help shape Calderdale Energy Park and how it can contribute to local and regional environmental, social and economic benefits.
