ScottishPower Renewables has received full planning permission for its Hollandmey energy project, which is set to combine solar, energy storage, and wind energy on one sitea in Caithness, Scotland.
A report by the conservation organisation, WWF and ScottishPower has found that making low carbon improvements – including installing solar panels – could increase the value of domestic properties by up to £10,000.
Construction of ScottishPower’s solar farm at the Carland Cross hybrid wind, PV and energy storage site has begun, with the first of the 10,000 panels installed by Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
ScottishPower has submitted a planning application for up to 40MW of solar, along with up to 50MW of battery storage and a 20MW electrolyser as part of its Green Hydrogen for Scotland project.
Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) tariffs have been unveiled after the legislation came into full effect yesterday (1 January 2020), with pricing ranging wildly from Social Energy’s 5.6p per kWh down to the barely-compliant 0.001p per kWh that Shell Energy is offering.
