The picturesque landscapes of Norfolk are under siege. The High Grove solar farm, proposed by German energy giant RWE, threatens to blanket 4,000 acres of prime farmland with industrial-scale solar panels. Claimed to be the largest solar farm in the UK, this project would produce up to 720 megawatts of electricity, supposedly enough to power around 363,000 homes annually. But the real question is, at what cost?
Projects like this are not about sustainability or environmental stewardship—they are a direct result of the destructive and authoritarian Net Zero agenda. Under the guise of climate action, Net Zero policies impose sweeping changes dictated by international organisations like the World Economic Forum, diminishing national sovereignty and sacrificing local communities for corporate profit
The Impact on Our Countryside
The countryside is the beating heart of Britain—its farmlands feed us, its ecosystems sustain biodiversity, and its landscapes inspire generations. Yet this solar farm, along with others being forced upon rural communities across Norfolk, prioritises ideology over practicality. Converting fertile farmland into solar fields threatens food security and erodes local traditions, leaving rural Britons to bear the brunt of decisions made far from their homes
Current proposals could see Norfolk’s solar footprint skyrocket, from 2,200 acres at the start of the year to tens of thousands of acres if all planned projects proceed. This scale of industrialisation is unprecedented and unwarranted. Why are British farmers and communities being asked to make these sacrifices while foreign corporations reap the profits?
Net Zero: A Trojan Horse for Global Control
The British Democrats reject the Net Zero agenda. Far from being a genuine solution to environmental concerns, Net Zero policies are a tool for enforcing global conformity, empowering unaccountable elites at the expense of ordinary people. By demanding drastic changes to energy, transportation, and agriculture, these policies erode our national independence, destroy local industries, and lead to economic hardship.
Instead of enabling energy independence, the UK government’s GB Energy initiative hands lucrative contracts to foreign corporations like RWE, which exploit British farmland for profit. These actions weaken Britain’s ability to make decisions that prioritise its people
Our Vision: A Sovereign, Sustainable Britain
The British Democrats believe in real sustainability—solutions that empower communities, protect our countryside, and prioritise British needs over foreign interests. Our approach to energy and environmental stewardship includes:
- Reclaiming Energy Sovereignty: Encouraging smaller, locally managed renewable projects over industrial-scale developments by foreign corporations.
- Prioritising Brownfield Development: Using urban and industrial land for solar farms, leaving farmland untouched for agriculture and biodiversity.
- Protecting Rural Communities: Ending the imposition of Net Zero policies that harm rural Britain and erode national sovereignty.
A Better Path Forward
The debate around High Grove is more than a local issue—it’s a national wake-up call. The British countryside must not become a dumping ground for misguided globalist policies. We can and must chart a different course, one that values the heritage, independence, and prosperity of our nation.
By rejecting the authoritarian Net Zero agenda, the British Democrats stand as the only party committed to protecting Britain’s future. Join us in defending our countryside, our sovereignty, and our way of life.
