POWER
The UK has awarded planning permission for 1.35GW of PV projects in England, with five developers approved, according to UK Energy Secretary Ed Miliband, cited by Renews.biz.
- PS Renewables and Tibus Clean Energy were permitted their 500MW Sunnica PV farm.
- Windel Energy and Canadian Solar’s 350MW Mallard Pass PV unit was also approved, with Low Carbon’s 500MW Gate Burton solar farm given planning permissions.
- A decision on the Sunnica PV project was initially due in September 2023 but was delayed several times by former Conservative energy secretary Claire Coutinho, who also pushed back decision deadlines for Mallard Pass.
