BAE Systems seeks solar panel permission for Portsmouth plant
BAE Systems is seeking permission to install solar panels on the roof of one of its buildings in Portsmouth.
The company has submitted a request under the prior approval guidelines, which would allow the installation of the panels without the need for a full application in an effort to increase its on-site electricity production. The proposed array has a capacity of 568KW.
As reported in the Portsmouth Mail, a statement included as part of the application states: “BAE Systems are keen to incorporate renewable energy technology to support manufacturing operations on its Broad Oak site in line with the BAE Systems Net Zero Carbon road map and the Portsmouth council Local Plan”
