Dunfermline Sheriff Court to gain solar power
Reading time: 1 minute
The Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service (SCTS) has applied to Fife Council for permission to install 260 solar panels at Dunfermline Sheriff Court.
A spokesperson for SCTS said the development would be part of their commitment to decarbonisation as well as the Carbon Trust Triple Standard accreditation.
They said: “Capital grants totalling £291,000 have been approved to the SCTS from the Central Government Energy Efficiency Capital Grant Fund, which is part of the wider Green Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme aimed at supporting the decarbonisation of public buildings.
“Dunfermline Sheriff Court was identified as a suitable building for the installation of solar photo voltaic (PV) systems.
“This builds on a programme of PV installations previously undertaken in the SCTS estates and our commitment to decarbonisation and the Carbon Trust Triple Standard accreditation.
“This will allow SCTS to make progress to improve the heating, lighting and energy efficiency of many of the buildings in our estate and help us to reduce carbon emissions and our energy costs.”
