Rangeford Villages has installed photovoltaic (PV) cells at Wadswick Green in Corsham, Wiltshire, as part of its commitment to sustainability.
The project, which is has been delivered by Vision Zero Consult, involved the installation of PV cells on the village’s pavilion roof. The main objectives are to cut Wadswick Green’s carbon footprint, lower ongoing building operating costs through energy efficiency, demonstrate its commitment to sustainable practices, and meet stakeholder expectations around environmental responsibility.
It has been funded from existing reserves, and the installation is expected to deliver approximately a 20% cut in energy costs associated with running the pavilion. To ensure long-term performance, monitoring systems will be installed to track energy generation and consumption. The installation is expected to reduce carbon emissions by approximately 20 tonnes of CO₂ per year.
‘This project reflects our continued focus on reducing our environmental impact while making sensible, long-term investments that benefit our villages. By installing solar PV at Wadswick Green, we are lowering carbon emissions, reducing energy costs and taking another practical step towards a more sustainable future,’ said Rangeford Villages chief executive officer Howard Nankivell.
Rangeford Villages, which is owned by Fern Trading Ltd, is advised by Octopus Capital.
