Renewable energy firm Enviromena has secured planning permission for a solar farm on a 90-acre site in Somerset.
The company said when the project in Horsey near Bridgwater is fully operational it could produce enough energy to power around 9,750 average-sized homes a year, and offset approximately 6,500 tonnes of carbon emissions.
The structure, which will be located close to junction 23 of the M5 motorway, will comprise more than 45,000 solar panels with a capacity of 24 MW of power and will generate more than 28,000 MW hours of energy per annum.
