Community-owned solar farm to be built in Plymouth
08.07.22
The Plymouth City Council Planning Committee have unanimously approved the construction of a new community-owned solar farm next year.
The 13MW solar farm will be located on the old landfill site at Chelson Meadow, as a partnership between the Council and local charity Plymouth Energy Community (PEC). It is set to significantly reduce carbon emissions while being able to power 3,680 homes a year, increasing the city’s renewable power generation by almost 50%.
