Duchy of Cornwall: Poundbury: Implementing a Sustainable Energy System
The Duchy of Cornwall is a well-managed private estate which funds the public, charitable and private activities of the Prince of Wales and his family. The Duchy consists of around 54,648 hectares of land in 23 countries, a large proportion of which is in the south west of England.
The Prince of Wales is actively involved in running the Duchy and his philosophy is to improve the estate and pass it on to future Dukes in a stronger and better condition. Inherent in this philosophy is the principle of sustainable development.
