Richborough Solar
About the Project
RBL Solar Limited is proud to be developing a major 70MWp solar energy project across 250 acres of land next to Richborough Energy Park in Sandwich, Kent. The project will be delivered in two phases:
RBL1 (27.88MWp): Fully approved and ready for construction
RBL2 (42MWp): Planning application scheduled for mid 2025, with positive pre-application feedback already received
Once completed, this landmark solar farm will generate enough clean energy to power tens of thousands of homes, making a significant contribution to the UK’s renewable energy targets. Situated in one of the country's most energy-intensive regions, the project will play a vital role in decarbonising the UK's energy mix.
More than just an infrastructure project, RBL Solar is a long-term commitment to climate action, sustainability, and responsible development.
Sustainability Impact
The project aligns with 6 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
SDG 7: Clean, affordable energy
SDG 8: Sustainable economic growth
SDG 9: Resilient infrastructure
SDG 12: Responsible consumption
SDG 13: Climate action
SDG 17: Global partnerships for sustainable development
Design, Construction & Grid Connection
Timeline: 12-month construction + commissioning in Q4 2027
Site Profile: Mix of floodplain and a closed landfill – no agricultural land affected
Build Approach: Tier 1 equipment under a full-wrap EPC contract
Capacity: 49.9MWAC connection secured with UK Power Networks
Scheduled Connection Date: October 2027
Kulizumboo
About the Project
The Kulizumboo Interconnector Project is advancing a strategic 700MW interconnector development in Kent, UK, with plans for an HVDC converter station located alongside National Grid’s 400kV substation at Richborough — adjacent to the RBL Solar site.
As the UK transitions away from fossil fuels toward clean energy, electricity demand is projected to increase by 50% by 2035 and double by 2050, driven by the electrification of heating, transport, and industry. Meeting this surge in demand requires major infrastructure upgrades to efficiently connect renewable energy sources to homes and businesses.
The UK government has committed to connecting 50GW of offshore wind by 2030 to meet ambitious net-zero targets. Interconnectors like the Kulizumboo project are essential to this future, helping balance supply and demand, strengthening energy security, and enabling greater integration with international energy networks.
Grid connection accepted for April 2031 at 400kV (Canterbury North)
No transmission reinforcement works needed prior to connection
Land secured for converter station and cable routing (onshore & offshore) already surveyed
Positive local authority relationships (Dover, Kent)
Potential for technology enhancements in line with NG ESO policy updates expected in Q1 2026
