Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium Development and Collar Site
Any idea why the solar panels were scrapped GX ?

There are no plans to use shale gas and I doubt there ever will be
I seem to recall the energy generation from the initial wind turbine idea was also going to provide power for local communities. Whatever is now in the pipeline is it just going to meet the needs of the campus or do we intend to generate any more, and sell it on?
The energy profile of a site such as ours will obviously have peaks and troughs throughout the day. The plan is to export any excess electricity and either recieve payment our supply the local community with discounted energy. I would imagine that FFP will dictate and we will simply sell to the highest payer. Thermal energy will be utilised on site and there are plans to ultimately link in to the City Centre district heating scheme in the future. Again this will enable us to create a further revenue stream.
