HUNDREDS of solar panels could be installed at Haddington’s Waste Water Treatment Works (WWTW).
Scottish Water has applied to install the solar photovoltaic (PV) panels at the facility to the east of the town.
The developer has included a supporting statement outlining the reasoning behind the proposals.
It identifies that the Scottish Government is aiming to move towards a low-carbon economy and Scottish Water is looking at all of its assets to identify those that can “accommodate renewable energy technologies”.
The document reads: “As part of Scottish Water Horizons’ renewable and sustainability energy strategy, it is proposed to install solar photovoltaic panels totalling 220kWp at Haddington WWTW.
“The proposed PV scheme at the Haddington WWTW will generate 186,038kWh of electricity per annum, contributing to Scottish Water’s target of meeting net zero by 2040.”
According to the plans, 480 ground-mounted PV panels would be installed alongside two inverters.
