Rutland Solar Action Group has today launched a petition to Stop Staveley Solar Farm Rutland.
Staveley Solar Farm – near Pilton, Morcott and Wing – is one of four industrial solar farm proposed for Rutland, England's smallest county, that could eventually cover 2-3% of the county’s land area, way beyond the 0.3% national target set by government to meet net zero climate goals.
Joint developer Anglian Water, which is 85% overseas owned, will receive virtually all the energy generated enabling it to reduce costs and increase profitability, while simultaneously increasing water prices for consumers to pay for sewage spills and excessive executive pay.
Together, as a community, we’re campaigning and raising funds to stop this industrial development and corporate profiteering, protect Rutland farmland and food security, and force the Government to produce joined-up policy and regulation for renewable energy.
Take action and sign the petition today: Stop Staveley Solar Farm Rutland
