UK Government Approves Major Solar PV Farm in East Yorkshire

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.
