Diageo s Leven site By Scott Wright SCOTCH whisky giant Diageo has unveiled plans to build a solar energy farm at its massive packaging plant in Leven, Fife. The Johnnie Walker, Bell’s and Gordon’s maker has submitted proposals to Fife Council for permission to install 12,000 solar panels at the site, which produces 40 million cases of spirits per year. The panels, which the distiller is aiming to install on vacant land at the 150-acre site, would be capable of producing four mega-watts of electricity. Diageo said the plans form part of its ambition to achieve net-zero status in terms of carbon emissions from direct operations by 2030. It is working on the project alongside energy company E.ON and Emtec Energy, a local Scottish business.
