I support the intent of the application. It is vital for this country to have a diversity of power generation systems in support of base load nuclear power. One of the main objections by others is the loss of use of the land for farming whereas it is quite possible for Aggri-voltaics to be practiced as in the USA. This may mean raising the panels another metre off the ground and may be a sensible response to their concerns? My concern that has not yet been answered by Mallard Pass is to why the installed capacity is around 350MWe when the export capacity limit is only 50MWe? It may be for cloudy day generation but 7 times capacity seems overkill?
