Inspired supports Victoria Group with carbon reduction though solar PV project

Background

A leading supply chain provider with six port facilities across the UK, the Victoria Group is an operation of national importance and a key partner to countless organisations.  

Inspired was invited to offer Victoria Group suggestions of energy saving measures with a carbon reduction benefit. 

Solution

After a thorough estate-wide review, our Technical Services team suggested a Solar PV solution for five sites spread across the UK. The five arrays totalled 770kWp and would generate between 15% and 35% of each site’s annual import volume.   

As part of this process, DNO connection agreements were submitted and structural surveys undertaken. System sizes and configurations were then reviewed considering DNO restrictions, and the systems re-optimised.

“We are proud of our investment and involvement with Inspired to support green, renewable energy to our sites, this investment has helped reduce Scope 2 emissions across all our operations.”

Steve Marshall, Director, Victoria Group

Outcome

Despite the requirement to deliver a solar project under the working conditions of a live sea port, the Inspired team commissioned the projects on time and has continued to monitor array performance online since commissioning to ensure optimal generation.   

Results

Solar PV solutions for five sites in the UK, delivering around 15%-35% of each site’s annual import volume
