This photo of a fox at Orchard 2 solar farm was taken by Geoff Hourihan of PSH Operations last week. Solar, community and biodiversity will be key themes for our community share offering this summer.

[Kent Community Energy @kent_commenergy]

Thanks to @ediblecultureuk for visiting Orchard 2 solar farm near Sittingbourne, Kent and advising on our ambitious plans for biodiversity at the site once we take community ownership after this summer's share offer. https://t.co/5zpR5veGud
