Wedoany.com Report-May 12, On May 9, 2025, the British Planning Inspectorate announced that the government has approved a 400-megawatt solar photovoltaic (PV) project in East Yorkshire.

The sun is reflected on solar panels which produce renewable energy, on the island of Eigg, Inner Hebrides, Scotland May 28, 2014.

The East Yorkshire Solar Farm, developed by East Yorkshire Solar Farm Limited, is designed to produce sufficient electricity to supply approximately 100,000 households. The project will connect to the national electricity transmission network via the Drax substation, operated by the National Grid.

According to the developer’s website, the construction of the grid connection cables is expected to take about one year, while the solar PV site itself will require approximately two years to complete.

The initiative aligns with efforts to expand renewable energy capacity in the region, contributing to sustainable energy goals. For insights into environmental, social, and governance trends, the Reuters Sustainable Switch newsletter provides regular updates.
