IM Group Plans Solar Power and Battery Storage for The Gate Business Park in Solihull
birminghammail.co.ukThe IM Group has applied for planning permission to install ground-mounted solar panels and battery storage at its headquarters, The Gate, in Shirley. The project aims to reduce the company's carbon footprint and move toward energy self-sufficiency as part of a broader goal to reach net zero by 2030. If approved, the installation is expected to save between 100 and 150 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. The developer argues that the site falls under the grey belt category, making it suitable for this type of renewable energy infrastructure.
