Solar panels could be installed on the roof of York Minster for the first time in a bid to tackle rising energy bills.
The cathedral’s gas and electricity costs are expected to triple next year, a Minster spokesperson said.
Plans to install 199 solar panels on the roof of the South Quire Aisle have been submitted to York Council.
Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell said the Minster was “committed to taking a lead on addressing the climate emergency.”
