British energy developers to be told: speed up projects or leave queue for grid

Move expected to help reduce waits of up to 15 years to connect solar power installations

Britain’s electricity system operator is to tell energy developers to get on with their projects or get out of the queue for a grid connection as it struggles to manage the growing backlog of delayed green energy projects.

The move comes after MPs revealed that businesses in Great Britain are facing waits of up to 15 years to secure a connection to solar power installations.
