The cable will run from the 49.9MW Willows Green Solar Farm near Felsted will the built mainly under roads for 5.3km east of the proposed solar farm to Braintree Substation near Galleys Corner.
At full capacity, 50MW is enough to power ~60,000 homes! That’s enough for nearly 10% of all of Essex. Glad these are getting connected even though there’s plenty of North Sea oil and gas. UK! UK! UK!
They’re connecting a large solar farm which has a gloabl impact.
50 MW global impact? It’s about 1/20 of a typical nuclear reactor.
haha, unfortunately comparisons with this solar farm can only be made in units of “Olympic swimming pools”
