HBS, GIG starts the commercial operation of the 11.6 MW Grafham Water Solar Scheme project in Huntingdonshire
HBS New Energies (HBS) and Macquarie’s Green Investment Group (GIG) has announced the successful connection and completion of the 11.65 MW Grafham Water Solar Scheme, covering 2 miles of land in Huntingdonshire, Cambridgeshire, England.
Funded by a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) structured by GIG, the onsite renewable energy source will meet over 26% of Grafham Water’s energy consumption and reduce site carbon emissions by around 3,500 tonnes per year.
Grafham Water Treatment Works (WTW) uses approximately 45 million kilowatt-hours of energy a year to supply clean water across the region to hundreds of thousands of customers. The zero-carbon electricity generated by the solar panels will help power essential water treatment operations through a private wire connection.
