We have just switched on a new solar array, the largest on our land to date and a significant step towards our aim of becoming a net zero carbon business by 2030. These 42,000 solar panels at Grafham Water reservoir in Cambridgeshire are now providing a significant amount of the energy needed to power one of the region’s largest water treatment works. They will produce enough energy to power 3,000 homes and save the carbon produced by 1,000 cars. Jason Tucker, Director of Strategic Delivery, said: “Grafham Water Treatment Works provides an essential service to hundreds of thousands of customers across the East of England. The connection of one of the largest solar arrays in the UK water industry is a significant moment, knowing that at certain times Grafham is fully self-sufficient with renewable energy, which is great for both our customers and the environment.” Read more about this project, and our ambition to cut the net carbon we produce down to zero – https://www.anglianwater.co.uk/news/grafham-solar-array/
