Guildford Renewable Energy Mapping Study

In February 2015, our Renewable Energy Mapping Study was published. It considered which areas in the borough best suit the following renewable energy technologies:

  • solar PV
  • solar thermal
  • wind turbines
  • hydro power
  • heat pumps
  • district heating

The report builds on the Government's mapping study (opens new window).

Why did we commission the study?

Renewable energy will help support Government policies. The Government aims to reduce:

  • carbon emissions
  • the amount of carbon used to supply electricity
  • the cost of importing fuel
  • the risk of fuel supply being disrupted (the risk rises if fuel comes from unstable parts of the world)
  • the amount of infrastructure needed to transport energy across the country

Locally generated energy would also have economic benefits for Guildford.
