One thousand solar panels – capable of generating 0.2GWh of electricity per annum – have been installed by Scottish Water at its Marchbank water treatment works near Balerno. The treatment works currently produces 40 mega litres of water per day – enough to fill 16 Olympic swimming pools. This means that 17,000 properties in parts of western and southern Edinburgh and areas of West Lothian now receive drinking water which has been treated thanks to the power of the sun.
