A mini solar farm is set to be built at Edinburgh Zoo in a move towards using renewable energy to power the popular attraction.
Plans to site 1,870 solar panels across a hectare of an un-utilised northern section of the zoo, near to the giraffe enclosure, are set to go before councillors for approval on Wednesday (October 5).
An 'energy education centre' is also proposed as part of the development to educate visitors about the "importance of renewable energy and sustainability, with emphasis on the benefits of the installation to the zoo".
