flag UK Energy Secretary Ed Miliband to decide by spring 2026 on £800M Botley West Solar Farm, Europe’s largest proposed solar project.

flag UK Energy Secretary Ed Miliband will decide by spring 2026 whether to approve the Botley West Solar Farm, a £800 million project that could become Europe’s largest solar facility, spanning 3,400 acres near Oxfordshire towns on land mostly owned by the Blenheim Estate. flag The plan, which includes over two million solar panels and 110 kilometers of fencing, aims to generate clean energy, support local jobs, and deliver up to £150 million in community benefits over 40 years. flag However, it faces opposition over environmental concerns, questions about solar reliability in the UK’s variable climate, and worries about cost overruns and long-term feasibility.
