Guardian: Balcombe, the Sussex village that saw the UKs biggest anti-fracking protests so far, is set to be powered entirely by the sun, after residents won planning permission on Thursday to build a nearby solar farm.
But campaigners said they are now racing government subsidy cuts to solar power to get the project underway.
The 5 megawatt (MW) project in Sussex will see 18,500 panels installed, generating enough power to match Balcombes energy needs and to power a nearby village.
