There's nothing like seeing for yourself! Our tour of Westmill Energy wind and solar farm was excellent - look how far apart the panels are, and how tall they are, and how many different wildflowers there are. Plently of room for the sheep!

Just a taste of our excellent fact-finding visit to community-owned Westmill Wind and Solar farms yesterday as part of our Future Energy Landscapes project. We even saw a hare! We will be writing-up a summary of the (many) things we learned... @westmillenergy.bsky.social #communityenergy

That's me in the middle!

You would be in good company!
