Newby Hall plans solar panel scheme to generate renewable energy
Newby Hall Estate near Ripon has tabled plans for a solar panel scheme to help generate renewable energy.
In proposals submitted to North Yorkshire Council, the estate has earmarked arable land outside the historic park and gardens for the project.
It would see four rows of solar panels installed which would generate 142,145kW hours per annum.
The estate estimates that the scheme could save 28.5 tonnes of carbon emissions per year.
In documents submitted to the council, Carter Jonas, which is acting on behalf of Newby Hall, said the proposal was designed to complement the estate’s existing hydroelectric scheme in the River Ure.
It said:
North Yorkshire Council will make a decision on the plan at a later date.
