Glastonbury 2023 to run fossil fuel-free
Glastonbury has always respected the planet, but for the first time, in 2023, all of Glastonbury Festival’s power supplies will be met by renewable energy and renewable fuels, with a brand new temporary wind turbine powering market stalls in Williams Green.
Meanwhile Arcadia’s giant fire-breathing spider will be blasting out recycled biofuels, which will also be powering all the generators used across the site.
And clean energy from the Festival’s own solar PV array and anaerobic biogas plant, provide energy for the Farm and Festival offices.
The festival says: “Sustainability has always been at the heart of Glastonbury Festival. Our Green Fields have run on solar, wind and pedal power since 1984, setting a fossil-fuel free standard we’ve always aspired towards implementing across the Festival. Since then we have been drawing on technological innovation to help reduce our use of fossil fuels and strive towards creating a Festival that is as sustainable as possible.
Aside from power, our ban of the sale of single-use plastic drinks bottles and environmentally hazardous disposable vapes will help reduce waste and promote more sustainable alternatives. Our own on-site recycling facility ensures we can hand-separate our own waste for single stream recycling, avoiding the need to send waste to landfill. And thanks to the efforts of our wonderful Festival-goers, since 2019, over 99% of all tents and camping equipment has been taken home after the Festival.”
