A solar farm is set to be created on a former landfill site near Newton Mearns, potentially raising £250,000 per year for the council.
Councillors have approved plans to lease land at Greenhags to Engenera Renewables Group for 35 years, subject to the firm securing necessary consents, including planning permission.
Council directors will finalise the terms of the lease, including the annual rental, but a report revealed the fee could be “somewhere in the region of £175,000-£250,000”. The figure would be “dependent upon the rates they can secure for generated electricity sold on the market”.
