Two Blues Solar has carried out a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for 120 locations owned by Marston’s PLC, while Harvey had completed Sports Village Van Nottingham Council the third phase of the PV installation on the roof.
Supplier of Renewable Energie Solutions Two Blues Solar, in collaboration with Installer Nuvolt, will implement SOLAR PV in 120 Publocations that are owned by Marston’s.
The initiative of £ 5.4 million, fully funded by Atrato Onsite Energy, works through a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). Two Blues Solar acted as a developer for the project, supervised and coordinated with all stakeholders.
Nuvolt, located in Cardiff, collaborated with Marston’s to install an 87.73 MWH Roof Solar PV -Array at the Martson head office in May last year, which stated that it had started the PPA provisions.
The company will handle the technical installation of this latest phase of the project, while Atrato on -site Energief finances the rollout, retains ownership of the solar systems during the PPA term and monitors the performance of the solar panels.
The first phase of the 120 installations is expected to be completed by Q2 2026. The rollout started in January and the teams complete 10 systems per month and at the same time work on multiple sites at the same time. Every solar PV installation is expected to meet 15-20% of the site’s energy demand.
Solar -Energy Portal Two blues asked what the projected total capacity would be at the 120 locations and would be heard: “Because each pub roof differs in size, pitch and orientation, the final aggregated capacity is only confirmed when all sites are completed.
“Based on the technical model of two Blues Solar, however, the average output per site is approximately 30,000 kWh. Based on that, the 120-pub portfolio is expected to supply around 3.6 GWH electricity per year, equal to approximately 3.5 MWp installed capacity.”
Although PPAs are a well-recognized solution for solar financing, they are not so well established in multi-site portfolios because it is more difficult to manage the complexity of ownership structures, administrative burdens and technical variations between sites.
This explains and said Daniel Levine, co-founder of Two Blues Solar,
‘The largest’ on solar energy of the UK in the solar energy complete in Nottingham
Harvey had completed Sports Village, part of the Nottingham city council, the third phase of a PV installation on solar energy, which brings the generation capacity to 571.5 kWp.
This total capacity was achieved with the installation of a system of 307.58 kWp with 676 bifacial panels.
The project benefited from more than £ 449,000 support from Salix Finance and the installation is part of Harvey’s ambition to be a leader in renewable energy in the public sector.
It took the first step in the direction of this goal in 2015 with the installation of a 67.2 KWP Solar Carport, which at the time was the largest in the United Kingdom, which covered 40 parking spaces. The first phase of the roof mounted PV system was installed in 2018.
Onsite Zonne generation in the Leisure Center will meet 46% of its electricity needs. A total of 74% of the energy generated by the PV system feeds the daily activities of the building and surplus solar energy is used to heat the swimming pool. This use means that the center has not installed battery storage.
Lindum Group managed the project on behalf of Nottingham Council and collaborated with UK Alternative Energy and Empire Scaffolding GM LTD to complete the installation.
