Background
Marlin Industries, the cable industry’s leading manufacturing and logistics company, which is committed to sustainable and cost-effective strategies, appointed Power-Zero to install on-site solar PV energy systems at the company’s Wrexham and Hawick sites.
Challenge
A large energy user faced with unsustainable increases in energy prices
Marlin Industries needed to reduce its energy costs significantly without impacting negatively on its environmental performance.
A renewable energy solution that would support Marlin’s carbon reduction targets was required.
Solution
Develop a bespoke solar pv renewable energy solution
Fully-Funded through Power-Zero’s Dynamic Power Purchase Agreement (DPPA), the 328kWp Solar PV system has been designed to match Marlin Industries’ load requirements for electricity at the Wrexham site.
The system will be monitored continuously by Power-Zero’s Operation and Maintenance (O&M) team to ensure it delivers the maximum savings possible.
The first phase of the project includes the installation of a roof mounted array of solar panels at the Wrexham site. Once the installation of the system in Wrexham is complete, Power-Zero will complete a review of the Hawick site to understand the energy requirements before designing and installing the most appropriate system.
The system will be monitored continuously by Power-Zero’s Operation and Maintenance (O&M) team to ensure it delivers the maximum savings possible.
Over £300k+ worth of savings annually.
The Solar array will ensure Marlin achieve their net zero aspirations.
the solution will deliver savings over £300k per year and reduce marlin’s carbon emissions by 123 tonnes of co2 per year
Result
The Solar PV onsite generation systems at both sites are expected to generate more than
640,000 KWh per year through 2,200 roof-mounted panels over a total 3,800 m2 and will be connected to the grid and managed by Power-Zero.
Enhancing market resilience
It will provide increased efficiencies for Marlin as well as increasing the company’s resilience to volatile international energy market.
Seamless energy installation
The installation of the new on-site energy systems will be completed without impacting on normal business operations.
