#Transport for #London has appointed SSE Energy Solutions to develop #solar installations that will supply #renewable #electricity directly to the Tube via a private wire network. The scheme could generate up to 65,000MWh a year — around two-thirds of the Victoria line’s annual demand — cutting reliance on the National Grid and helping stabilise energy costs. The solar sites, likely to include ground-mounted arrays and rooftop panels near the network, could save more than 27,000 tonnes of carbon over 25 years. TfL, London’s largest electricity user, consumes about 1.6TWh annually and aims to run entirely on renewable electricity by 2030. The deal supports its wider energy purchasing strategy, including power purchase agreements, and forms part of efforts to #decarbonise operations, expand zero-emission #buses and improve #energy efficiency across the network.
