Refuse planning permission for Elgin Energy's application to build a 250 acre Solar Power Plant in rural Kells

The Issue

We can and must deliver an overwhelming wave of opposition to Elgin's plans and fight the industrialisation of our countryside.

This application will probably be the largest Solar Power Plant in the UK (the size of seventeen Junction One shopping centres) spanning 1.2 miles in length across open countryside which is home to endangered ground nestling bird, the curlew.  The development is highly visible, abuts roads and surrounds people's houses - it is without thought or care.

If this application is approved it will set a precedent across NI and energy companies will be building a solar farm in a field near you!

We stand together as concerned neighbours in opposition to a Solar Power Plant in rural Kells.  Please stand with us and sign this petition.
