Sheffield tops table for renewable energy installation
Sheffield’s adoption of solar power has put them top of a table of the most renewable energy production per head since introduction of feed-in tariffs last year. The city leads the way with more solar power generation added in the city per household than in any other British city, according to a league table published on Monday.
Nearly 2 megawatts of capacity have been added in Sheffield in the last 15 months, with Leeds coming second in the league table, with more than 1MW of capacity added. They are followed by Bristol, Bradford and Birmingham (when renewable energy installations per person are counted). Whilst London has added more renewable power than anywhere else (more than 3.2 megawatts of capacity over the same period), it comes only sixth when assessed per head.
Sheffield has benefitted from a strong push by the local council to encourage the take-up of renewable power, and in particular by plans to give people living in social housing access to the technology.
