A former landfill site on an Oswestry industrial estate could become a two megawatt solar farm under new plans lodged by Shropshire Council.
The scheme would see over 3,000 solar panels installed on the 4 hectare site on Maesbury Road Industrial Estate, around a mile from the centre of the town.
Any electricity not used by the factory could then be exported to the National Grid, which the council says would provide an extra income stream for the authority. “The proposed 2MW solar farm offers financial benefits for the Council and Arla Foods, while contributing to the UK’s clean energy goals,” said a supporting statement.
“This project fosters collaboration between the public sector , private sector , and the national grid. Arla Foods benefits from a secure and potentially lower-cost renewable energy source through the PPA.
