What the data says about Northumberland
Modelled yield is not flat across Northumberland. Blyth comes out at 848 kWh per kWp a year against 803 at Hexham, a spread of 45 kWh per kWp. On a 200 kWp farm array that difference is about 9,000 kWh a year, which is worth checking before accepting a generic saving figure.
Across the districts we cover in Northumberland the planning record lists 8 ground mounted and 13 roof mounted solar schemes. Ground mounted schemes tell you how the network here has treated field arrays; roof mounted ones are undercounted, because an array on a farm building rarely passes the reporting threshold. Source: Renewable Energy Planning Database, Q1 2026.
Connections across the county run through Northern Powergrid. Anything above 3.68 kW per phase needs a G99 application, and on rural feeders the incoming supply is often the real limit: a single phase supply caps the array whatever the roof would carry.
- Blyth 848 kWh/kWp

- Morpeth 824 kWh/kWp
- Berwick-upon-Tweed 827 kWh/kWp
- Hexham 803 kWh/kWp
