Chamber Members, Low Carbon Energy completed their latest project at multi award winning  leisure centre and spa Crow Wood .

The 50 kw solar pv system will deliver 45,000kwh a year for the next twenty years at less than 1p per kwh ,and beyond and reduce the carbon emissions by 25 tonnes a year .

Oliver Brown , Director at Crow Wood explained their decision . We are always looking at ways of reducing our costs .We have looked at solar a few years ago  and the numbers didn’t quite work for us and we were pleasantly surprised when we asked Ged to re visit his original proposal and the returns on investment met our requirements .

Crow Wood is focussed on the ecological impact of their activities and are constantly looking at ways to improve efficiencies in order to reduce environmental impact. They’ve invested heavily over the past few years in a range of sophisticated management systems which allow them to control heating, lighting and air conditioning to create the minimum waste of energy, whilst at the same time generating their own electricity following the installation of a CHP generator and more so now  with this recent solar panel installation. The team at Low Carbon were great and worked around our busy schedules with no fuss and high degree of professionalism” .

Ged Ennis MD at low Carbon said

“ We are delighted that Crow Wood selected us to deliver this important  project for them .It’s been a pleasure working with  Andy and Oliver Brown and the team there .We had to prove not only the environmental benefit but the commercial  benefits as well .Constantly rising energy prices are a major issue for all businesses and clearly Crow Wood saw those benefits and acted to take further control of the energy costs in a way that secures their supply , lowers costs and benefits the environment.
