  • Centreco deliver an industry leading solar energy system for Endura
  • 351kW capacity system installed at Livingston Premises
  • System comprised of 936 Tier One Solar Panels
  • CO2 emissions savings of over 1639 Tonnes across the next 25 years
  • Electricity costs slashed to 3.5p per kW Hour for the long term
  • Smooth installation process with minimal disruption to operations

Centreco (UK) Limited, leading UK commercial solar energy installers, are pleased to announce the completion of a 351kW Solar Panel System for Endura Ltd at their premisses in Livingston. The solar energy system consisting of 946 roof mounted tier one panels will allow Endura Ltd to generate their own green electricity. The system is predicted to save over 1,639 Tonnes of CO2 emissions over the next 25 years allowing the leading manufacturer of Cycling Clothing, Bike Helmets & Accessories to significantly reduce their carbon footprint. These CO2 savings are roughly equivalent to over 4,068,835 miles being driven by an average passenger car.

The move to self-generated solar energy complements Endura’s wider environmental and sustainability programmes on their journey to becoming CO₂ negative by 2024. Their solar energy system now sits alongside their other initiatives including the ‘One Million Trees’ project and banning environmentally harmful chemicals such as PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) and PFC (Perfluorinated compounds) from their products. These initiatives being more important than ever as consumers place more importance on the green credentials of brands before making purchasing decisions.

With electricity costs on the rise, Endura by owning the system are now able to benefit from equivalent fixed electricity costs of just 3.5p 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.

As Endura’s site in Livingston is the heart of its daily operations, it was critical that throughout the installation process, there was minimal disruption to Endura. Centreco were able to achieve this by working with the client to ensure the Centreco in-house scaffolding, installation, and electrical teams caused minimal disruption to this busy manufacturing hub.

The managing director of Endura Jim McFarlane said, “The teams that Centreco had working on site were all very professional and represented the company in such a positive manner. Our site operations manager even commented on how clean the installation teams were when they were working on our site – something rare to see by external contractors.”

Centreco’s Senior Project Manager Chris Ruddock said, “As consumers are becoming more environmentally minded when making purchasing decisions, it is great to see brands such as Endura putting in initiatives which provide both immediate and long-term environmental benefits as the company looks to be CO2 negative by 2024. This goal is now more achievable than ever with the installation of their own Solar Energy system.

Endura were a pleasure to work with as they had sustainability running through the core of the company at every level, from their packaging through to in-house repair facilities on site and using recycled fabrics throughout the manufacturing process.”
