Renewable Energy

The Hadlow Estate hopes it has inspired the next generation of geographers who will work in the renewables industry after a school visit to the Estate’s solar farm by a group of 12 and 13-year-olds.

One of the ways in which we are evidencing our commitment to reducing carbon emissions, is through the use of a biomass boiler at Hadlow Place Farm, which is supplied by wood and woodchip produced in our forestry operations.

This year has been equally successful, peaking on 23rd April with the highest energy production in any 24-hour period so far in 2021- 130.9MWh was produced, supplying around 13,090 homes or 4,188,800 kettles boiled.
