Hastings council to consider investing £2.1million in solar farm sites in Crowhurst and Fairlight

At a meeting next Monday (January 7), HDC leaders will be asked to consider whether to move ahead with a project to build solar farms at three sites in Crowhurst and Fairlight.

According to an officer’s report, the project would be expected to cost the council around £2.1m to build but would bring in somewhere between £165,000 to £430,000 extra income each year.
