The UK's largest solar farm has been built at the site of a former World War Two airfield in Leicestershire and connected to the national grid.
The £35 million project consists of 130,000 solar panels spread across 150 acres at Wymeswold Airfield.
Lark Energy was given planning permission for the project in November last year and the solar farm was built in less than eight weeks.
It has now been connected to the national grid.
Lark Energy says none of the current airfield users - which include a driving experience operator, HGV training centre and a kite club - have been affected by the operational solar farm
The 34MWp solar project was developed by Lark Energy and the landowner Prestwold Estates, and was funded and is owned by Hazel Capital.
Jonathan Selwyn, managing director of Lark Energy, commented "As the largest solar farm in the UK, the project has not been without its challenges, both technical and weather related. It is a testament to the teamwork of the various parties involved in its development and delivery that it was completed and connected on time.
"We are committed to developing a large portfolio of solar projects in the UK over the coming years and see a bright future for this growing industry".
