What this consultation is about
We asked local residents for their views on proposals to build solar farms at several of our sites. We have identified six locations in the North East and Amber Valley areas, for the project.
The proposals are to set up a series of ground-mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) sites - better known as solar farms - on land we own which is currently underused. This includes former colliery or underused agricultural land unsuitable for growing crops.
This consultation is now closed. A report on the results of the consultation was presented to Cabinet, 5 May 2015, agenda item five.
