The process which saw the installation of 4420 solar PV panels and 45 km of cabling is now live and providing power to the site in Oldtown. This site will now generate 1320MWhr/year of solar electricity and reduce carbon output at the facility by 428 tonnes annually.
Solar rooftop installation provides financial benefit to the company
The overall aim of the project is to reduce energy consumption, carbon footprint and the environmental impact in line with Ireland’s renewable energy goals, as well as provide a financial benefit to the company. The project saw Enerpower fully engineer, procure and construct the solar PV project now on site.
The Team at Sam Dennigan said: “We would like to pay tribute to Enerpower who from the outset had a very clear understanding of our requirements and who seamlessly carried out the installation without impact on the company’s daily commitments. We would also like to highly compliment Exemplar Energy Solutions Ltd. who completed the design review and procurement on our behalf.”
Inspiration to other businesses in Ireland to use solar
Luke Deasy, Senior Contracts Manager for Enerpower said: “Enerpower were delighted to work on this project. The site is now up and running and generating clean renewable electricity. This project was completed on time and under budget and during the installation all construction activities had minimal impact on the client’s work” .
Did you miss that? Twice the renewables capacity needed to meet 2050 targets
Managing Director of Enerpower, Owen Power said: “It was fantastic to experience the commitment of Sam Dennigan and Co. in making the change to renewable energy. This will have a huge impact on reducing the carbon footprint of the business and also provide an overall financial benefit to the company. Solar energy has become a very economical source of electricity and this development at Sam Dennigan and Company UC can be a great inspiration to those businesses who wish to significantly reduce their environmental impact.”
