Parish Council, which will also receive PV panels to help generate energy efficiency savings in line with Government initiatives,
completes Kier’s run of new contract wins. Managing director of Kier’s energy solutions business, Nigel Sheppard, said more and more businesses and public sector companies were switching to renewable energy technology and energy efficiency measures. “The Government’s energy efficiency initiatives have presented organisations with an opportunity to improve their environmental credentials in a financially viable way. The installation of PV panels is just one way businesses can reduce their energy bills, which when multiplied by the number of properties they have on their books, adds up to significant savings. The concentration of new contract wins reflects this situation and we’re delighted to be working with our new partners.”
