Call for suppliers (April 2026)

Building Sunnica Energy Farm will create opportunities a wide range of businesses, from landscapers to site security.

Wherever we can, we want to use local suppliers. We’ve created an email address, supplychain@sunnica.co.uk, to allow companies interested in becoming a supplier as we develop Sunnica Energy Farm to let us know more about them and ask any questions.

Please use this to register as a potential supplier, and we’ll get in touch as relevant opportunities come forward.

Non-Material Change Application (November 2025)

Sunnica Limited has submitted a Non- Material Change (NMC) application to the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero to amend the Sunnica Energy Farm Order that was granted in July 2024.

The Non-Material Change ensures that the project can connect into Burwell Substation as planned, following the extension of this substation (now built) by approximately 2ha of additional land. The NMC would include this 2ha of additional land (which is already built on and forms part of the Burwell Substation) into the Order Limits.

This change is considered non-material because:

  • It does not give rise to any materially new or materially different environmental effects to those originally assessed,
  • It would not require additional compulsory acquisition of land,
  • It would not have new or different effects on local residents or business or any additional implications in respect of habitats regulation assessment.

A copy of the NMC application and its accompanying documents are available for inspection, free of charge, via the Planning Inspectorate’s website or here.

If you wish to make a representation on the application, please do so via email to  Sunnica@planninginspectorate.gov.uk. or in writing to National Infrastructure Planning, the Planning Inspectorate, Temple Quay House, 2 The Square, Bristol, BS1 6PN. Please quote reference EN010106 on any representations. Consultation responses will be published on the relevant project page of the National Infrastructure Planning website. 

Representations must be received by the Planning Inspectorate by 11.59pm 16 January 2026.

Background

Sunnica Energy Farm is a solar farm with battery storage currently in development in East Cambridgeshire and West Suffolk. Once built, it will connect into the national electricity grid at the Burwell National Grid Substation and make a significant contribution to the country’s supply of renewable energy.

We received a Development Consent Order (DCO) for Sunnica Energy Farm in July 2024. This followed an independent Public Examination of our DCO application and extensive pre-application consultation. We are now moving forward towards the implementation phase and will update this website as our plans progress.

About us

Sunnica Energy Farm is being developed by Sunnica Limited – a joint venture between two established solar developers, Tribus Energy and PS Renewables. Together the Scheme partners have assembled an experienced team with a strong track record of delivering high quality solar and energy storage developments.
