We are pleased to report on the completion of a roof mounted solar installation at our property in Irlam Business Park in Salford, Manchester.
The two industrial units, which are located on a 4-acre site, have a combined roof span of almost 7,000 square metres, and now carry a 220kW solar PV system developed by Footprint Zero and installed by LYNX Group. The solar array delivers an average annual CO2 saving of 28 tonnes, which, after 25 years, will create a saving of 955 tonnes of CO2.
Appointed in 2022, Footprint Zero have acted in a project management role and will continue to manage and monitor the array. Irlam Business Park is the first site completed following a viability study of the Buccleuch Property portfolio which identified a further ten sites with the potential to host a similar solar array. We aim to progress five of these sites this year to meet our targets in improving EPC ratings across the portfolio and in achieving desired ESG standards.
