Chamber Members have just completed their latest project at Crow Wood, a multi award-winning leisure centre and spa.The 50kw solar PV system will deliver 45,000 kwh a year for the next twenty years, at a cost less than 1p per kwh and beyond. This will reduce the carbon emissions by 25 tonnes a year.Crow Wood have invested heavily over the past few years in a range of sophisticated management systems, allowing them to control heating, lighting and air conditioning to minimise the waste of energy. They’ve also installed a CHP generator that lets them generate their own electricity, going on to complement this with the recent solar panel installation.“The team at Low Carbon were great.” says Oliver. “They worked around our busy schedules with no fuss and a high degree of professionalism.”Ged Ennis, the Managing Director of Low Carbon, said “We’re absolutely delighted that Crow Wood selected us to deliver this important project for them, and it’s been a pleasure working with Andy and Oliver and the team there. Constantly rising energy prices are a major issue for all businesses, and during the project we had to prove not only the environmental benefit but the commercial advantages as well. Happily, Crow Wood acted to take further control of the energy costs in a way that secures their supply, lowers costs and benefits the environment.”

“Our selection of Low Carbon Energy for this project was ideal as their team worked closely with us to satisfy the needs of Boeing and provide a solution that met our requirements and resulted in the generation of around 85Kw of clean energy and the saving of 37 tonnes of Co2 annually.Low Carbon Energy proved they not only have the expertise to design a solution that will suit our requirements but also the capacity to fulfil every aspect of our renewable energy project, from modelling and procurement to installation and commissioning. We look forward to developing this relationship in the future.”Mohamed Ehtiawesh, Electrical Engineer, Mott MacDonald

To support their efforts in sustainability, Coach House approached Activ8 Solar Energies for the installation of a bespoke Solar PV System, tailored to their individual energy consumption data. Using the latest design technology, Activ8 Solar Energies designed and installed a 318kWp on the roof of their Altham site.

T&R Precision Engineering Ltd operates in the highly competitive Global Aerospace Industry, this market is under constant scrutiny due to emissions and the sustainability of air travel. From the Major OEM’s Airbus & Boeing right through the complex supply chains, everyone is looking to reduce their Carbon footprint in the challenge to meet Zero emissions targets.

K2 Storage Solutions are one of the latest Burnley companies to jump on board and switch to generating electricity using solar panels. Saving 104 tonnes of C02 per year, and promising an annual FIT income of £40,000, why consider any other alternative?

As with many businesses in the manufacturing sector, Stells was keen to fulfil two key aims for its business – reducing their running costs, and improving their carbon footprint. With these objectives in mind, they decided a solar panel solution was the perfect fit.
