A shining example of renewable energy. “we make one Hull of a team”
“We’ve been focusing on reducing energy across our manufacturing sites since 2018. A key part of this has been to consider how we might incorporate renewable energy generation. Following an in-depth survey in 2020, we were able to start implementing a really exciting initiative — to build an enormous solar farm on the roof of our new warehouse facility in Hull. From concept to installation, the project took just 18 months, and by February 2022 we were generating our first energy from this system.
Our solar farm is estimated to produce 166,700 kWh a year, equating to 5.7% of all site energy, and represents 50% of our Hull warehouse energy demand, which is just fantastic! It takes us one step closer to our net 0% emission target, and is the first time that Crown has been able to generate energy and put it straight back into our facilities. We’re looking forward to this project paving the way for future initiatives aimed at creating greener energy on-site.”
