The four-storey building with views over Fishmoor Reservoir in Haslingden Road took three years to complete and takes up 130,000 square feet of space. The new offices can accommodate up to 700 staff, and it is believed to be the largest commercial building project of its kind in the region.

U Energy ventures into Smart Battery

U Power is an energy management company established in response to the National Grid’s Vision for 2050. The agenda will ensure the United Kingdom will achieve Net-Zero Carbon by 2050. Net-Zero Carbon will transform dated Traditional Grid architecture to a Smart Grid, decentralised and digitised.

The Journey to Net-zero carbon will include technical changes as such the need for localised micro grids with smarter energy management and the ability for each community to support the grid is essential to keep our lights on.

Euro Garages choose U Energy

Euro Garages approached U Energy, keen to foster a relationship that would see U Energy install solar PV systems to many of their existing and future branches as they continue their company expansion. U Energy was first tasked with installing a 40-module solar system on one of their Starbucks branches in Cleckheaton that all together would create an output of 10KW. Secondly we were given the task of installing a 30kW system on their Greggs branch just next door.

As the business adds strategic partnerships with large brands such as BP, Shell, Starbucks and Greggs; Euro Garages are forging ahead with their rapid expansion and their plans to become a major player in the forecourt industry.

First forecourt solar installation for Valli

BP goes green with U Energy

In late 2012, U Energy completed its first solar PV installation at a BP petrol station on a busy main road near Ackworth, Pontefract. Based on the system design and energy usage at the time, the installation was estimated to deliver annual electricity cost savings of approximately £16,300.

Petrol filling stations can be well suited to solar PV because they often have consistent daytime and evening electricity demand from pumps, lighting and other site infrastructure. The potential savings from any installation depend on factors including system size, electricity consumption, generation levels and energy tariffs.

To the best of our knowledge, this was one of the first installations of its kind undertaken in this setting. Particular care was taken to develop a safe and secure installation approach suitable for the operational requirements of the forecourt environment.
