Rushcliffe Solar: March 2011

Rushcliffe Solar

Rushcliffe Solar started as a Transition West Bridgford campaign to encourage greater use of Photovoltaic home power generation systems in Rushcliffe borough, but we are always willing to answer an enquiry from other towns in the region. There are many buildings and entire streets with roofs which have a good view of the Sun and could produce power for the Grid and Income for the occupants. Hit the You Enquire tab to get a free appraisal of the photovoltaic potential for your building. Email: RushcliffeSolar@gmail.com

Gedling Solar farm proposal

9 Mar '11: I just picked this up from the Nottingham Evening Post pages:

"Plans for 'sunshine farm' on former Gedling Colliery site
By Winnie Agbonlahor

"RESIDENTS are having their say on plans for an £11 million state-of-the-art "sunshine farm" on the former Gedling Colliery site."
"The project would produce energy for up to 1,300 homes in the surrounding area, as well as creating jobs."
"A public consultation is being held on the proposals for the solar farm, which would cover around 30 acres of the 350 acres site."

Meet the Team!

Rushcliffe Solar is a growth from the West Bridgford Transition group and was first dreamt up by David Nicholson-Cole as an ambitious idea for the group to pursue. The idea was supported by Karina Wells (West Bridgford Transition group) and Hugh McClintock (Pedals cycling campaign) of West Bridgford. In Rushcliffe, our partners are Sheila Hood and Paul Philips of the Sustainability group of Rushcliffe Borough Council.

RBC are the principal funders of the first two months of the campaign.

The Energy Saving Trust will take a key role in Rushcliffe Solar, with continuing support, and we have a growing list of Solar Installers, prepared to contribute subscriptions.

David Nicholson-Cole works at the Dept of the Built Environment, University of Nottingham, and has a teaching/research interest in Eco-construction and Eco-HighRise design.
