“This project is a really important step forward in our fight against climate change and means Rochdale will be more than playing its part in helping to deliver Greater Manchester’s pledge to become net zero by 2038. These types of innovative clean and green projects are really important and I know we are looking at delivering more of them in the future.”
Vital Energi got the local community involved during the build, arranging mock interviews for local schoolchildren, presenting climate education workshops, holding site tours and offering work experience and local apprenticeship opportunities.
Chamber House Solar Farm was delivered by Rochdale Development Agency (RDA) in partnership with the council. This solar farm forms one of a number of projects being delivered under the ERDF funded Unlocking Clean Energy within Greater Manchester (UCEGM) umbrella project led by Energy Systems Catapult (ESC).
