PS Renewables has secured planning permission from Braintree District Council to build the Skye Green Solar Farm in Essex County, England. The solar park, located near Feering village, will cover 56 acres and provide clean energy to approximately 7,500 homes. The land under the solar panels will also be used for grazing. Construction is set to begin in 2027.
