The Glastonbury Town Deal has secured £23.6 million investment for the town, representing a once-in-a-generation opportunity to deliver the objectives outlined in the Town Investment Plan
Investing in renewable energy generation and EV charging. This project will be delivered in collaboration with Town Deal projects, community organisations and landowners.
This project is a crucial element of Glastonbury’s transition to net zero, helping the town move closer to its target of becoming carbon neutral by 2030.
ACE will invest in ground-mounted and rooftop solar panels to generate clean renewable energy and save circa 1,000 tonnes of carbon every year. Glastonbury Town Deal projects and local organisations will be able to buy cheaper electricity and surplus profits being reinvested into the local community for energy-related projects.
In 2024, the first solar installations were completed at St Dunstan’s School and Brunel Care.
An important part of tackling climate change is inspiring the next generation to take action, so local schoolchildren will be able to visit the solar farm to learn about clean energy and find out what actions they can take to help the planet.
