A £40 million network of "sun farm" solar power stations are be installed across parts of the Westcountry. The ten plants, if they go ahead as planned, could more than treble the amount of solar energy generated in the UK.  The sites are located across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, with the first being built on a 15-acre site between St Kew and St Mabyn in North Cornwall. Subject to planning permission, this plant will start generating power in April 2011.
