Vattenfall proposes £100m wind farm in Cambridgeshire
What happened
Vattenfall has proposed Redmere Wind Farm, an onshore wind project located on the border of Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk. The project, which could include up to 32 turbines, is estimated to cost over £100m. Plans for the farm are scheduled for formal submission in autumn 2027.

Why it matters
The proposal aims to power nearly 220,000 homes annually, supporting the transition toward renewable energy. Due to the scale of the project, Vattenfall can seek permission directly from Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero Miatta Fahnbulleh.
