- Dynamic Metals select Centreco (UK) Limited to deliver industry leading solar energy system
- 77kW capacity system installed at Leighton Buzzard Head Office
- System comprised of 204 Tier One Solar Panels
- CO2 emissions savings of over 375 Tonnes across the next 25 years
- Electricity costs slashed to 3.9p per kW Hour for the long term
Centreco (UK) Limited, the UK’s leading installers of commercial solar panel systems are pleased to announce the completion of a 77kW Solar Panel System for Dynamic Metals at their Head Office premisses in Leighton Buzzard. The solar panel system consisting of 204 roof mounted tier one panels will allow Dynamic Metals to generate their own green electricity, with the system predicted to save over 375 Tonnes of CO2 emissions over the next 25 years allowing this supplier of aerospace grade metals to significantly reduce their carbon footprint, something of significant importance to the business as they seek to further improve their green credentials. These CO2 savings are equivalent to 945,652 miles driven by an average passenger car.
With electricity costs on the rise, Dynamic Metals by owning the system are now able to benefit from equivalent fixed electricity costs of just 3.9p per kWh projected over the next 25 years. This offers a substantial saving versus current grid supplied commercial electricity rates at in excess of 25p per kwh, with these market prices subject to long-term inflationary pressures. The system provides energy security to the Dynamic Metals operation, with the integration of the Centreco solar energy system complementing the company’s focus on premium supply processes and high-quality accreditations.
Using the latest design techniques alongside site surveys, Centreco were able to design and install a bespoke solar energy system that matches Dynamic Metals electricity usage profile, ensuring the best long term commercial returns for the business.
Alex Bailey, Operations Director at Dynamic Metals said “Working with Centreco was a pleasure. Time was taken to ensure that our specific requirements were met by the system and the installation teams were brilliant.
The system is performing well and just sits quietly in the background doing its thing without the need for us to do anything. It’s great that the system is not only improving our green credentials, but also saving the company money at the same time.
I would happily work with Centreco again in the future for my next solar project.”
Centreco’s Senior Project Manager, Alan Cuthbert said, “Dynamic Metals have taken the next step towards a green future by installing a solar energy system. This is more important than ever as increasing pressure is applied to supply chains to decrease carbon emissions. This is especially important within the aerospace and motor sport industries – sectors which Dynamic Metals excel in. With the installation now complete, Dynamic Metals now gain a significant environmental advantage and complement their quality operations with a premium solar energy system from Centreco.
There is a second benefit to Dynamic Metals being that they can now benefit from a significant reduction in their expenditure on electricity, with the equivalent fixed hedge price of 3.9p per kW Hour – a huge saving on the current market rates with inherent protection against electricity price inflation in the long-term. When you look at the current availability of commercial electricity costs in the UK market, there are no grid-based energy supplier that can match these equivalent prices.
It has been a pleasure working with the Dynamic Metals team to deliver the installation”
