🚨 Everything is a Lie — So What Is the Truth? 🔍

✅ The Truth You Deserve

So, what is the truth?> The West Burton Solar Farm will not be able to deliver full power to the grid until 2033, at the earliest.This isn’t a climate breakthrough — it’s an infrastructure bottleneck disguised as progress. Until our grid is modernised, the public will continue to foot the bill for energy that can’t flow, land that can’t grow, and promises that can’t be kept.

🌍 The Bigger Picture

This isn’t just about one solar farm. It’s a systemic problem — driven by ideology and unchecked expansion.🌾 Farmland is being sacrificed for energy projects that the grid cannot support.📊 Projects are approved to meet political targets, not technical realities.🔋 Batteries are limited and short-duration — they don’t solve grid congestion or long-term storage problems.⚠️ Clean Power 2030 targets are undeliverable without urgent grid reform.

📉 What This Means in Plain English🕒 The West Burton Solar Project cannot reliably power the grid until 2033.💡 Until then, much of its output will be curtailed, throttled, or wasted.📉 The 480 MW claim is on paper only — it’s not practically deliverable under current grid conditions.💸 Consumers are being sold phantom power — and paying for it through infrastructure levies and higher bills.

📆 What National Grid Really SaysNational Grid’s own official statement in Appendix G includes the following sentence:> “Wider transmission reinforcement works. Expected Completion Date: May 2033.”That means no full capacity, no stable export, and no reliable delivery to homes for at least eight years.

⚡ The Illusion of Power

Despite all the headlines, the West Burton Solar Farm cannot deliver on its promises today — or anytime soon.✅ It has a grid connection agreement for up to ~480 MW.❌ But fault level headroom is zero (0 kA) — meaning the grid cannot safely accept more power without risking instability.🔌 It’s subject to Active Network Management (ANM) — allowing National Grid to curtail or shut off power exports during high stress periods.🛑 It must include emergency disconnection capability.📎 Source: National Grid – Appendix G, West Burton GSP

For years, politicians and developers have promised that solar mega-projects like West Burton (also referred to as Great Burton) will deliver cheap, clean, reliable electricity to the British public.But when you strip away the PR spin and green slogans, a different picture emerges — backed not by opinion, but by National Grid’s own data.So what’s the truth?

The Real Message> “This project is being sold as a climate solution — but the grid isn’t ready, the power will be curtailed, and the public are misled. Until 2033, this is largely a phantom promise.”

Full capacity can’t be realised until at least 2033National Grid’s own documents state transmission reinforcement won’t complete until May 2033.That’s when fault-level and headroom constraints will be lifted.Until then, output remains constrained, unreliable, and partial.4. There is no immediate benefit to the grid or publicThe illusion of fast delivery helps meet planning targets and appease climate agendas — but it doesn’t power homes in reality.What the grid truly needs is not more uncoordinated generation — but major infrastructure upgrades, SMRs, and smarter demand balancing.

The Truth (based on official grid data):1. The grid connection exists on paper — but it’s severely constrainedYes, a grid connection agreement is in place for up to ~480 MW.But fault level headroom is zero — meaning the local substation cannot safely absorb additional power without risk.Any excess triggers curtailment or emergency disconnection.2. The site will face routine curtailmentOutput is subject to Active Network Management (ANM) — the grid can dial generation down at any time.Curtailment is likely during sunny days or when batteries are full and demand is low.Consumers and funders are paying for power that can’t always flow.3. Full capacity can’t be realised until at least 2033National Grid’s own documents state transmission reinforcement won’t complete until May 2033.That’s when fault-level and headroom constraints will be lifted.Until then, output remains constrained, unreliable, and partial.

🧨 The Lie (from developers and politicians):> “The project will soon deliver clean, low-cost power to the grid and help Britain meet its 2030 targets.”
