TfL Plans Solar Farms to Power London Underground

Transport for London aims to use solar energy to meet its target of 100% renewable electricity by 2030.

Transport for London (TfL) has initiated a tender process to develop solar farms to supply electricity to the Tube network.
The solar farms are expected to provide about 5% of the electricity needed for the London Underground, contributing to TfL's goal of using entirely renewable energy by 2030.
Potential locations for these solar farms include areas near the end of Tube lines in counties like Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, and Essex.
The initiative is part of a broader strategy to decarbonize London's transport system and reduce TfL's carbon emissions, which currently amount to 850,000 tonnes of CO2 annually.
The project could create green jobs and foster economic growth in the renewable energy sector, while also potentially reducing TfL's energy costs.
