Two of Shaw healthare’s services in Wales have had solar pv panels installed to save up to 133 MWh annually – the equivalent to planting 1,556 trees per year.
The panels have been installed at Cwm Celyn in Blaina and Maes-y-dderwen in Tredegar, with installation completed by Nuvolt.
Director of property services for Shaw healthcare, Tony Lane, said: “As well as making significant savings in utility costs with the installation of the panels, we as a company are also committed to ensuring that we are looking at ways to reduce our CO2 emissions and pursue a more sustainable way of operating.
“With the ever-increasing price increases in energy costs, by installing solar PV panels, care homes will become less vulnerable to the price fluctuations and national grid outages.
“This is a very significant investment for Shaw and we are looking forward to continuing our green journey with additional installations planned for later this year.”
The investment for the two services is expected to pay off in under in between 2.4 and 2.8 years, with carbon savings of 29,946kg.
