Planned solar farm will be county's largest – Yahoo News Canada

A solar farm given the green light by government will be Cumbria's largest, its developers have said.
Dean Moor Solar Farm will lie on 276.5 hectares (683 acres) of land between the villages of Gilgarran and Branthwaite.
The 150MV site was given a development consent order last week, which is required for nationally significant infrastructure projects.
Developers FVS Dean Moor Ltd said it was the largest such scheme to be given permission to be built in the county and its next steps included procurement and more detailed design work.
It said it could not confirm when construction would begin.
FVS Dean Moor, which is a joint venture between Leeds-based Firma Energy and German company ib vogt, said the farm was designed to export up to 150MW of electricity into the National Grid.
It said that was comparable to the amount of electricity used by 50,000 typical homes each year.
The largest solar farm currently operating in Cumbria is in Wigton which can generate up to 19MW of electricity, according to the government's renewable energy planning database.
The UK's largest solar farm is in Kent and can generate up to 373MW of electricity.
FVS Dean Moor said it was building its solar farm in Cumbria for multiple reasons, including the fact it already had existing electrical infrastructure as well a viable nearby grid connection.
Grid capacity has been a major issue for renewable energy projects around the country.
