Municipal Authority Using Clean Energy To Safeguard Public Sector Services

Europe/Middle East/Africa, Head Lines, Policy, Solar

The largest local authority owned solar farm in the UK, acquired for nearly £14.5 million, will be used to help protect the future of municipal services in Forest Heath. It announced that after months of negotiations it has bought Greenheath Energy Ltd and with it the 12.4MW solar farm at Toggam Farm in Lakenheath. The purchase has been made using capital – under Government finance rules, councils are not allowed to use capital to plug annual funding gaps as eventually, the money would simply disappear. Instead, they can use the money to invest in projects which generate an annual income.
