It appears Jeremy Clarkson’s green conversion is complete, as the TV presenter is about to power his beer from the sun.
As shown on popular show, Clarkson has an on-site brewery – soon to be powered by solar PV.
The installation of the PV panels is set to take place this month and will generate 24.25MWh of energy per annum. It will also save 4.9 tonnes of CO₂ each year – the equivalent of planting 215 trees.
Ben Bonham, the Head Brewer of Hawkstone Brewery, said: “We’re always looking for ways to improve how we operate, and investing in solar energy is a natural next step for us.
“Brewing is an energy-intensive process, so generating our own renewable electricity will help us reduce our environmental impact while making the brewery more efficient and resilient.”
The panels will be installed by Geo Green Power, a Nottingham-based company with strong ties to to both Britain’s agricultural and hospitality sectors, as does Hawkstone and the farm.
