The UK government has approved a 400MW solar PV project in East Yorkshire, expected to power 100,000 homes and connect to the Drax substation.
LONDON (Reuters) -The British government has given consent for the development of a 400-megawatt solar photovolatic (PV) project in East Yorkshire, the Planning Inspectorate said on Friday.
The East Yorkshire Solar Farm will generate enough electricity to power around 100,000 homes, according to developer East Yorkshire Solar Farm Limited's website.
The project includes connecting to the national electricity transmission network at the National Grid's Drax substation.
The developer expects construction of the grid connection cables to last for around 12 months, and the solar PV site to take around two years.
