Why Solar Works in Skelmersdale

Skelmersdale has virtually zero dedicated solar competition for a town of 41,000 — a genuine market gap. The £150-164m town centre masterplan approved April 2025 plans 600 new homes with council-owned Tawd Valley Developments specifying solar panels on all new builds. Digmoor Phase 1 has already been completed with solar, air-source heat pumps, and EV charging. Major employers include Co-op Bank, Walkers, Victorian Plumbing, and ASDA distribution.
