New solar facility with SSE Energy Solutions to help decarbonise our campus
An application by the University of Surrey and its partner, SSE Energy Solutions, for a new 12.2-megawatt solar facility has been approved by the Guildford Borough Council planning committee.
The University will now move forward to build Guildford's first ground-mount solar facility, which will supply 34% of the University's electricity needs from on-campus renewable generation. The scheme will make a significant contribution towards the University's energy decarbonisation and net-zero commitments, while also relieving pressure on the local electricity grid.
