The project will provide energy for Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water’s Five Fords waste water treatment works in Wrexham, supporting the utility’s efforts to reduce its carbon footprint. Dulas has already installed almost 8,000 PV panels on the Wrexham site during phase one of the project and a further 2,100 panels in December.
Water management firms are increasingly being forced to think creatively about how to meet carbon reduction targets in the face of complex government legislation. As a result, Dulas has concentrated on developing a series of successful partnership with major utilities and suppliers in order to help them meet compliance targets and unlock the long-term commercial benefits of renewable energy use. The company’s thirty-year track record makes them well placed to support the needs of an increasingly environmentally aware utilities sector.
“As UK utility firms come under increasing pressure to optimise energy use, reduce their carbon footprint and comply with increasingly stringent government regulation, it’s apparent that, for many operational sites, it’s no longer business as usual” said Alistair Marsden, Commercial Director, Dulas. “With an unparalleled focus on continuing to deliver technical excellence, our work with Welsh Water demonstrates our thirty-plus year quest to develop innovative, commercially focused solutions to the companies and individuals that need it most.”
Mr Marsden added that the solar panels Dulas has installed for Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water, on otherwise commercially redundant land, have been a major step towards enabling the utility company to keep its carbon reduction plan on track.
