Falkirk waste water solar panels will help meet net zero target

Solar panels will be installed at Denny waste water treatment works by Scottish Water, if planning permission is granted.

The water company wants to install ground mounted solar photovoltaic systems at the Denny site as part of its renewable energy strategy. Electricity generated by the PV scheme will be used on site to offset the power required to treat waste water.

According to the planning application to Falkirk Council, the proposed PV scheme at Denny will generate 399,277 kWh of electricity per annum, meeting 0.44% of the Scottish Water Horizons target of 90GWh of new renewable generation by 2030.
