A bid to allow green energy to power a Lanarkshire waste water treatment facility has been launched.
Scottish Water has applied for planning permission to install technology which will offset more than 20 per cent of the electricity needed to operate their site at Skellyton near Larkhall.
The proposals would see over 500 solar panels put in place which can generate over 150MWh of electricity each year – the same amount of energy needed to boil a kettle 1.5 million times or watch a million hours of television.
