The UK’s first subsidy-free solar farm was officially last week by Climate Change Minister, Claire Perry. The 45 acre Clayhill solar farm & energy storage facility near Flitwick in Bedfordshire, built by energy provider Anesco, is made up of over 30,000 solar panels - enough to power 2,500 homes. The solar farm will be the first in the UK to be built & operated without Government subsidy, following a fall in the cost of solar panels by two thirds since 2010. Battery technology also has an important role to play in making renewable energy a viable part of the UK’s energy network by ensuring energy can be captured and stored for use when needed. |
