Power Stations & Solar Farm Map

This map shows the location of most of the power production facilities in the UK. Some of the facilities did not have grid references so were not listed on the map. This map shows Traditional Fossil Fuel Power Stations but also Renewables such as:

• Solar Farms
• Bio-Energy Plants
• Wind Farms

You can use this map to find out:

• Company Ownership
• Site Name
• Technology Type
• Whether CHP
• Primary Fuel
• Secondary Fuel
• Installed Capacity (MW)
• Grid Connection Type
• Country
• Region
• Postcode
• OS Reference
• Lat

National & Hyper-Local Dataset: Mapping UK Power Infrastructure

Understanding the spatial distribution of energy generation is vital for modern environmental planning and grid connectivity analysis. This dataset provides a comprehensive overview of UK power stations, ranging from large-scale nuclear and thermal plants to hyper-local renewable energy clusters. By mapping these facilities, we enable developers and planners to visualize the energy landscape and assess the proximity of new projects to existing infrastructure.

Mapping Energy Diversity and Capacity

As the UK transitions towards net-zero, the mix of energy production is shifting rapidly. Our mapping resources track these changes across various sectors:

• Renewable Energy Generation: Pinpointing the location of onshore wind farms and solar arrays, essential for regional renewable energy capacity assessments.
• Traditional Thermal Plants: Identifying gas and biomass facilities that currently provide baseload power and their associated air quality footprints.
• Nuclear Infrastructure: Mapping major stations and their role within the national grid.
• Energy Storage and Battery Facilities: Tracking the rise of battery storage facilities required for grid balancing.

Integration with Environmental Planning

The location of a power station has significant implications for local land use and environmental constraints. Our geospatial data supports more complex studies, such as Landscape and Visual Impact Assessments (LVIA) and Noise Impact Assessments. For developers looking to connect to the grid, understanding local capacity and existing constraints is the first step in a successful planning application.

Technical Authority in Energy Consultancy

Southwest Environmental Limited provides the technical expertise needed to interpret complex energy data within the UK planning framework. Whether conducting Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) for new energy projects or advising on renewables options appraisals, our data-driven approach ensures regulatory compliance. With over 15 years of experience and 900+ projects delivered, we offer the professional insight (IES/FGS) required to navigate the UK's evolving energy sector.
