A low carbon energy park which generates half of the electricity at Keele University has been officially launched.
The facility - which boasts 12,500 solar panels, two wind turbines and a megawatt battery - will provide up to 50 per cent of the electricity needed for the university buildings, student halls and the privately-owned staff homes and businesses on campus throughout the year.
The multi-million pound initiative is believed to be one of a kind as it combines all three energy sources - wind, solar and battery storage - in one place. It is part of Keele University's effort to become carbon neutral by 2030.
