UK: Holcim UK has built a 167,000kWh/yr, 464-panel solar power plant on the roof of its Callow site near Cheddar, Somerset. The Callow site includes a ready-mix concrete plant, precast concrete block plant and aggregates quarry. It will now supply 8% of its annual energy consumption from the new solar power plant.
Head Of Decarbonisation Luke Olly said that renewable energy is a ‘key component’ of Holcim UK’s net-zero strategy.
The company previously executed similar solar projects at its Bardon Hill site in Leicestershire and Hulland Ward site in Derbyshire.
