The Droves Solar Farm is a proposed project located on land between Swaffham and Castle Acre in West Norfolk. It includes a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to store excess energy, allowing it to be released when required. Ongoing survey work is helping to identify areas for solar development, cabling, and environmental enhancements within the site.

Due to the size of the potential energy capacity proposed for the Droves Solar Farm, the project is classified as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP).
