Plans have been announced for a £4 million power plant and flue accessories development to be built on the site of Moss House Farm, a St Michael's Farm in upper Rawcliffe.

These proposals have been released by Simon Rigby, one of the co-founders of Farmgen. The site is expected to be an Anaerobic Digestion power plant, with its power being collected from slurry, according to the Garstang Courier.

Ed Cattigan, Farmgen's commercial director, told the news provider: "Our aim is for Moss House Farm to play an important part in our growth plans, as part of the revolution in green energy."

Mr Cattigan stressed that rural communities across Lancashire can benefit from farm-based Anaerobic Digestion technology.

Elsewhere, the Harrow Observer has reported that a church in Pinner will fit solar panels in an effort to enjoy energy savings.

Situated on Love Lane, St Luke's Roman Catholic Church has applied to Harrow Council to use the south-facing roof as a method of utilising the sun's energy.
