Our low carbon commitments

As a company with roots in the heart of Britain’s Energy Coast, we understand that we have a responsibility to help secure a sustainable future. We’re proud to say that we take this responsibility seriously. This is where you’ll see our Golden Thread at work.

Whether we’re considering new property developments, looking for further efficiencies at Westlakes Science Park, or out searching for opportunities in our local communities, we’re using our low carbon credentials to discover projects that are both economically viable and of real benefit to those living and working in the area.

We have bold ambitions for our energy schemes and want people to see the opportunities afforded by green technology, and the benefits of getting together to make exciting things happen.

At Westlakes we have plans to create a microgrid allowing for renewable energy to fulfil as much of the site’s electricity needs as possible in the near future. And we’d love to use the space for even more – solar farms, large scale energy storage, the possibilities are endless.

At a community level, we’d like to support local renewable energy generation for a sustainable, lower cost future. We’re inspired by energy projects, like crowd-funded solar panels placed on community buildings or industrial spaces, generating profits that can be fed back in to local investors or to fund local community projects.

We have the skills and experience to facilitate these schemes. We just need to find the right partners and investors to join us for the journey. Could that be you or your organisation?
