We know our town is famed for being the sunniest place in the UK but can we turn this into an opportunity for more local solar energy generation?
We have acres of commercial rooftop space which could help reach our net zero ambitions for tackling climate change but also locally generated energy will also ensure reliability of supply.
The Energy Strategy published earlier this month commits the UK to increasing solar output five fold by 2035. And the cost of solar panels has fallen, with zero VAT on these for the next five years.
I want to see Eastbourne leading the way.
