Plans to build a 43,000 panel solar farm in the coming months have been put on hold.

Wokingham Borough Council said it had made the decision to pause the build of Barkham Solar Farm in Berkshire – due to start in the spring – after the government revised its renewable energy timetable.

The council said although the initial 2027 date to connect to the national electricity system remained unchanged, full connection has now been delayed from 2028 to between 2031 and 2035.

The authority said as the delay created uncertainty about its output and potential income „it would not be responsible for us to enter a multi-million-pound contract and start construction at this time”.
