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!

I settled on figuring how much of Essex that would cover.

which is not that helpful in worldnews...

"for a 114 hectare solar farm east of School Lane"

Now I have an idea of the actual size.

Sorry, that was not my intention at all.

I would much prefer a world-news sub not be filled with the same stories (endless US/UK/EU politics etc) over and over again but rather have some interesting local stories from around the world.

I was just pointing out that adding some more generic descriptions would make it more readable to the rest of the world.

Take it down.

I have spoken!
