Neston Community Energy
Neston Community Energy, a Community Energy organisation run by local volunteers, has received a grant of almost £38,000 from the Community Energy Fund to investigate whether the landfill site on the Clayhill Industrial Estate, next to Neston Recycling Centre, would be a suitable site for a solar park.
Consultants Scene Connect Ltd will be carrying out the study. There has been an initial inspection of the site. Further surveys and events are planned for members of the public to see preliminary proposals in January and February 2025.
Neston Community Energy announces date for open meeting to present findings of Clayhill Solar Farm study
Following on from a well-attended open meeting at Neston Community Youth Centre in January, Neston Community Energy will be presenting the conclusions of the study looking at the feasibility of the former Clayhill landfill site as a solar farm.
“We were delighted to see the level of local interest in the potential use of the former landfill site for the generation of solar energy at the meeting in January,” said Robert Thrift, one of the project managers from Neston Community Energy. “The second meeting on 19th March will be to present the conclusions of the feasibility study and to discuss what the possible options are for what could happen next. As ever, we are very keen to involve the community. Input from people at the last meeting has been useful in managing the surveys and considering design.”
The next meeting will take place at Neston Community and Youth Centre in Burton Road, Little Neston at 7 pm on Wednesday 19th March.
