Emily Eavis has explained how Glastonbury was powered entirely by renewable energy for the first time this year.Organisers previously confirmed ahead of this year’s festival that it would be run entirely using renewable fuel.Now, Eavis has spoken further in a new interview about they managed to achieve such a feat.She told Access All Areas: “Being able to power the entire festival without having to rely on fossil fuels this year has been a real breakthrough, but it is the culmination of lots of baby steps that have seen us steadily increase our use of renewable energy – both from the grid as well as from our own onsite sources like our solar PV array on our cowshed roof and our anaerobic digester that turns waste cow manure into biogas.“We’ve been trialling alternative and renewable fuels for over a decade. And after some successful trials with virgin, palm oil-free renewable HVO at the last couple of festivals, we decided to use it – in place of fossil oil-based fuel – in all our generators for this year’s festival.”Organisers previously confirmed that the festival has avoided using any fossil fuels since 1984 and will continue to opt for solar, wind and pedal power options on the fields going forward.Eavis has now added: “This year’s switch to renewable fuels is just another step on our journey.

If it doesn’t happen, what’s the contingency plan? Someone has spotted a giant mirror ball on its way here.”“That’s a very good spot,” Eavis responded, before being asked about the status of the performance.

Emily Eavis has confirmed whether or not Arctic Monkeys will headline Glastonbury tonight (Friday, June 23) after fans worried they might not make it following a gig cancellation earlier this week.
