The UK government granted development consent for the Great North Road Solar and Biodiversity Park on October 27, clearing the way for an 800MW solar array and 880MWh battery store near Newark, Nottinghamshire. Developer Elements Green says the scheme will generate about 1.1TWh a year, enough for roughly 400,000 homes.
