Solar and LED lighting contribute towards carbon footprint reduction

In early 2023, we installed 1544 solar panels at Taylors HQ and replaced all the lighting on site with LED.

Since installation, our solar panels have generated 633000 kWh of electricity. This has meant that nearly 30% of the electricity we use now comes from our solar panels.

The solar panels have benefited our carbon footprint, reducing it by an estimated 31.7 Tonnes CO₂e. LED lighting has further reduced our carbon footprint by 10 Tonnes CO₂e contributing to an overall reduction in carbon footprint of 14.3% over the last year.

Technical Manager Andy Bean, who oversaw the solar and LED project said: “It’s really pleasing to be able to quantify the benefits of our solar and LED projects and we are now able to see the contribution they are making towards reducing our carbon footprint. We continue to look for efficiencies and improvements we can utilise throughout the business to make further CO₂e  reductions.”
