Consultation with Energy Gain UK started in 2020 that focused on making a large reduction into Vygon’s Scope 2 emissions. Energy Gain UK were instructed to provide a feasibility study, design, supply, execute and maintain a rooftop solar photovoltaic system for Vygon UK. The 503 kWp system is forecasted to generate approximately 473,317 kWh of zero-carbon electricity, making a reduction of 110 tonnes CO2 a year from their carbon footprint and a £66,000 reduction from their energy bills. With the sustainable procurement demand within the NHS, Vygon’s efforts will not go unnoticed and will also help in providing Vygon with endless marketing and supply chain opportunities.
An interesting fact about the install is that the Vygon warehouse, formerly the manufacturing warehouse for Motorola, starred in the James Bond film ‘The World is not Enough’ as a Turkish oil platform
