UK’s ‘Largest’ Floating Solar Farm Given Go-ahead
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on the BBC.
This is the sub-heading.
A floating solar farm described as the UK’s largest is to be built in the north of England after planning permission was approved.
These three paragraphs add more details.
The 46,500-panel array will be installed at the Port of Barrow’s Cavendish Dock in Cumbria and will be capable of producing enough energy to power 14,000 homes a year.
It will be built by Associated British Ports (ABP) and will be used to power the area’s advanced manufacturing sector, including submarine-maker BAE Systems.
The company’s divisional port manager Bryan Davies said the solar farm would “drive economic growth” and was a major milestone in the company’s plans to develop Port of Barrow.

Note.
- BAe Systems are in the West side of the map.
- It looks like the picture on the BBC article was taken from the East.
- In the picture the Cavendish Causeway runs across the bottom-left Corner.
- The solar array appears to be in the North side of the dock.
The solar array will be an impressive structure, when it is complete.
