Dumfries And Galloway Council Have Big Solar Plans
It has been reported by BBC South Scotland that Dumfries and Galloway Council is seeking approval to borrow up to £2.2m to spend on installing solar panels on a number of its properties.
A report claims saving to electricity costs and income from generation could boost its budget by more than £6m. The council also wants to investigate further renewable energy options which could be exploited. Among the possibilities being explored is a small hydro-electric scheme at the Caul on the River Nith in Dumfries.
