Background

Bates Dairy are a family business through and through, with their history and future firmly tied to milk and dairy. As a company and a family, Bates place great emphasis on sustainability and as such communicate frequently with both customers and suppliers to ensure they understand their current and future dairy requirements and ensure that operationally they are as green as possible.

As part of their environmental and sustainability programmes, the installation of a solar energy system was a high priority, and after exploring alternative suppliers, Centreco were selected to design and install a bespoke system for them.

Through site surveys, Centreco selected to install a bespoke 91kW Solar Energy system that closely matches their electricity usage profile to ensure the best long term commercial returns.

Similar to many other companies in the industry, Ledwood were facing ever-increasing energy prices. They were typical of many of Centreco’s previous clients, and it wasn’t long until the team realised the array of benefits a solar energy system had to offer.

Using the latest site modelling techniques Centreco designed and installed a tailored 211kW renewable energy system at the company’s Pembroke Dock premises. The system consists of 582 tier-one panels, and allows Ledwood to protect itself from potential energy price hikes in the future.
