RANSOM WOOD TO BECOME A SELF-SUSTAINING BUSINESS PARK WITH


TH WHITE ENERGY Specialist renewable energy provider T H White is behind a new three-acre solar farm that will see Ransom Wood Business Park become one of the UK’s first self- sustaining business parks.


Ransom Wood Estates, which owns the Nottinghamshire-based Park, has invested £660,000 in the project, which includes over 2,000 photo voltaic panels with the ability to provide up to 450 kilo watts (KW) of power.


Alex Lockton, energy division general manager at T H White, the solar, biomass and anaerobic digestion developer that built the solar farm, said: “This move by Ransom Wood Business Park to


REMEHA BOILERS DELIVER £7,000 ENERGY SAVINGS FOR CHARITY IN


SIX MONTHS Remeha Quinta Pro replacement boilers have saved Aspire, the spinal injuries charity, £7,000 in energy since they were installed just six months ago at the Aspire Leisure Centre in Stanmore, Europe’s first fully- integrated training centre for both disabled and non-disabled people.


Reliability was the key consideration as the main function of the boilers, aside from providing hot water for showers and underfloor heating, is to maintain the water temperature in the swimming pool at a constant 31o

become self-sustaining using solar power is indicative of the way the market is changing.


“Businesses are starting to see the commercial benefits, as well as the ethical benefits, of using this model and we expect to see other organisations including universities, other science and business parks and stand-alone businesses following suit.”


Lockton added: “The business park is using as much of the power from the solar farm as possible before exporting excess energy. That’s what makes it special. There are very few like it in the UK.


“When a business park invests in


solar for their own use and their clients’ use, it is not just one business saving money and becoming green; all the park’s tenants are benefiting in this way too.”


Ransom Wood Business Park spans some 110,000 square feet of which over 75,000 square feet is occupied office space, a restaurant and a nursery; all of which will be powered by the solar panel farm.


The offices, restaurant and nursery require an average of 50-400 KW when fully functioning. This means that the solar panel farm will be able to produce enough electricity to power all the businesses on the park.

the pool has remained at the correct temperature, with plenty of water for hot showers. Even more impressive is the energy we have saved since installing the Remeha boilers, which equates to £7,000 in the last six months alone.”


Scott Morgan, Director of PHD Mechanical explained: “Installing multiple Quinta Pro boilers in cascade operation not only overcame the space issue in the restricted plant room, but was the most effective solution to accurately meeting the heat output demand and guaranteeing greater reliability at the leisure centre.”


Brian Carlin, Chief Executive Officer of Aspire Leisure Centre commented: “The entire move from old to new boilers was completed in one day, enabling us to keep the centre open for our users. We’re delighted to report that since the refurbishment,
