UK government greenlights 700 MW solar farm in Lincolnshire
Energy Secretary Ed Miliband has granted approval for a 700 MW solar farm in Lincolnshire, expected to power 300,000 homes. The Tillbridge project is the largest in UK history and forms a key pillar of Labour’s clean energy push, following 17 major green projects approved since July 2024. The decision aims to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and stabilise future power costs amid debates over renewable expansion in rural areas.
