Plans to rollout solar PV across two Southern England prisons have been unveiled by Gov Facility Services Ltd (GFSL).
Rooftop solar is to be installed at HMP Bure near Norwich in Norfolk, to reduce reliance on the existing electric load by 17% and save 79 tonnes of CO2 a year. It comes after six months of planning, with the installation of the array is to be completed by the end of March 2021.
A second project is also underway at Whitemoor Prison in Cambridgeshire, GFSL said, where ground-based solar panels are being installed. The installation is scheduled to be completed in July.
