Solar and Sustainable Agriculture

Words from the winner: As part of its commitment to sustainability, Southill Community Energy have established a range of grassland and wild flower habitats around Southill solar farm, with annual surveys indicating the wildlife has increased significantly in response.  This award will enable Southill to graze a local flock of sheep, replacing the current system of carbon intensive mowing, and contribute to sustainable agricultural production for the site, and in doing so, complete its strategy for sustainable land management. The directors are delighted to receive this award and would like to thank Younity for all their support of community energy groups and the initiatives that come from them.
