grid connections

Wokingham Borough Council’s Barkham solar farm has been granted a grid connection “more than a decade earlier”.

62GW of the transmission entry capacity (TEC) queue is filled with “phantom” projects, utility Centrica has said.

Octopus’ solar and storage development in Durham has been offered a grid connection date of 2036, as constraints continue to be huge challenge for the rollout of green technologies.

The economics of developing solar have “decisively switched” according to a panel of experts this week, but development still faces a number of barriers with the most significant being the grid.
