Pfizer gets green light for hundreds of solar panels
Pfizer in Newbridge has been granted planning permission for the installation of around 1,400 square metres of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels on its property.
The panels will be located on ground mounted frames on a green area adjacent to the biopharma giant's Waste Management Building and the existing Substation on its site off Old Great Connell Road.
Ducting, underground electrical cabling and other works are included in the planning permission granted by Kildare Co Council.
Pfizer Newbridge was established in 1992.
The company's site covers an area of 120 acres with facilities of over 1,000,000 sq ft.
