The council adds £38 million to its net-zero path: Bath and North East Somerset Council has announced a fresh £38 million investment in measures to help it achieve net zero energy.
The municipality intends to build a new recycling centre that will be outfitted with a 3,800 square-metre solar panel array with an anticipated output of 783kWp.
The council will spend £754,000 to grow its green car fleet, while sustainable travel infrastructure projects will receive £800,000 in cash.
The money will be spent over the following five years.
