Allied Filter Systems Ltd Complete Centreco Solar Energy Installation as Commercial Case Stacks Up ‘Now More Than Ever’

• Centreco provide an industry leading solar energy system for Allied Filter Systems Ltd
• 77kW capacity system installed at Irlam, Manchester Premises
• System comprised of 188 Tier One Solar Panels
• CO₂ emissions savings of over 381 Tonnes across the next 25 years
• Electricity costs slashed to 3.7p per kW Hour for the long term
• Positively address the implications of Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting requirements
• Case for Solar Energy Installation “makes more sense than ever”

Centreco (UK) Limited, leading UK commercial solar energy system installers, announce the completion of a 77kW Solar Panel System for Allied Filter Systems Ltd at their premises in Irlam, Manchester. The solar energy system consisting of 188 roof mounted tier one panels will allow Allied Filter Systems Ltd to generate their own green electricity, with the system predicted to save over 381 Tonnes of CO₂ emissions over the next 25 years allowing the leading manufacturer and supplier of filtration systems, consumables, and equipment to significantly reduce their carbon footprint. These CO₂ savings are equivalent to over 961,152 miles being driven by an average passenger car.

As one of the UK’s leading manufacturer and supplier of Filtration systems and consumables, Allied Filter Systems Ltd often form part of a wider supply chain for industries including within the Chemical, Coatings and Food and Beverage sectors. Many companies within these sectors are facing increasing pressure to ensure their supply chains are environmentally friendly in line with the SECR (Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting requirements).

SECR is having an influence on listed, large and mid-scale businesses with a requirement to report their energy usage and the associated greenhouse gas emissions. It is widely believed that a greater importance will be placed on these reports as SECR continues to develop and evolve over the coming years, with potential financial penalties issued to companies who do not have initiatives in place to reduce their emissions. Allied Filter Systems Ltd have future proofed their operations with a move to self-generated solar energy now and have positively addressed the pending implications of SECR.

With electricity costs on the rise, Allied Filter Systems Ltd are also able to benefit from equivalent fixed electricity costs of just 3.7p per kWh projected over the next 25 years. This offers a substantial saving against grid supplied electricity rates currently available and protects against long-term inflationary pressures on energy costs.

Dan Thompson, Managing Director of Allied Filter Systems Ltd said “Centreco did originally approach us a few years back looking to provide us with a solar energy installation, but at the time, we felt we had other business priorities and, in our eyes, whilst we could understand the benefits, we felt that we had to prioritise other long-term investments. Given the current energy crisis, and ever-increasing environmental awareness within supply chains, we knew we had to explore solar again, and honestly, I wish we had done it sooner. When we looked at the figures, we were taken aback by the payback period, perspective savings and in my eyes, it did just make more sense than ever before.”

Alan Cuthbert, Senior Project Manager at Centreco said “It is great to hear that Allied Filter Systems Ltd recognised the benefits and the strong commercial case that a Centreco Commercial Solar Installation brings, especially given the wider uncertainty surrounding the energy sector and the implications of SECR within supply chains.

Allied Filter Systems Ltd are now able to benefit equivalent fixed electricity costs of just 3.7p per kWh projected over the next 25 years, a rate the grid simply cannot match. This will provide them with much needed security and peace of mind in a competitive business sector.”
