More than 1,000 people sign an open letter urging landowners to oppose plans for a giant solar farm.
More than 1,000 people have signed an open letter urging landowners to reconsider participating in a solar farm that would be one of the biggest in the country.The park could deliver up to 500 megawatts of renewable energy, which is enough to power over 115,000 homes each year.
The most common way in which landowners benefit financially from solar parks is through long-term lease agreements. Island Green Power advertises a “zero-risk partnership” to landowners, covering all the development costs, adding that its priority is to ensure that landowners retain their role as "custodians of their property".But campaign group Stop Lime Down said the proposal is "irresponsible and unnecessary".
"This divisive and damaging project can only proceed with the support of the landowners. It’s not too late for them to put their community before self-interest."
