A Renewable Energy Study (pdf 5.42mb) has been produced that assesses the potential for generating renewable energy across Staffordshire.

The aim of the study is to create a county-wide evidence base to underpin future planning policies that will maximise the potential for low carbon development and renewable energy generation in Staffordshire.

In addition to the Renewable Energy Study, four development site energy strategy studies (pdf 1.3mb) were conducted to provide 'worked examples’ of how a range of schemes would achieve a range of carbon standards.

In support of the new Local Plan's progression, energy related evidence has now been published.
