LondonMetric Property is installing two solar PV arrays at assets in Coventry and Bicester totalling 577 kWp.
In Coventry, 275 kWp of PV panels have already been installed on a warehouse let to food producer Aubrey Allen (pictured), which will provide the company with circa 25% of its annual energy needs.
Later this year, LondonMetric will install 302 kWp of solar panels on a warehouse in Bicester let to Greencore Homes, which will provide circa 40% of Greencore’s annual energy needs.
These solar PV arrays are expected to save circa 100 tonnes of CO2 emissions per annum and increase LondonMetric’s total installed solar PV capacity to 4.2MWp.
Mark Stirling, asset director at LondonMetric, said: “Our focus is on meeting occupier requirements in a rapidly evolving environment by working in partnership with them to ensure their longevity and commitment to our assets. We are increasingly engaging with our occupiers to help them deliver on their net zero carbon targets and reduce their energy costs.
“There are a number of challenges to installing solar PV but we are delighted to have worked in collaboration with Greencore Homes and Aubrey Allen to facilitate these two installations and we will continue to evolve our approach to deliver on further opportunities.”
