As part of our commitment to a more sustainable future, we have just completed the installation of a 282 kWp solar array on the roof of Wallace Studios, consisting of 672 photovoltaic panels.
This project, brought about by generous funding of £346,000 awarded from the Scottish Landfill Communities Fund by EB Scotland, is anticipated to generate around 224,771 kWh per year – enough to power 83 average UK households for an entire year and saving over 46 tonnes of CO2e per year.
We anticipate that approximately 60% of the electricity generated on site will be used directly by RCS, significantly reducing our reliance on power from the national grid.
The surplus energy will be exported back to the grid, contributing to wider national decarbonisation efforts by helping to displace carbon-intensive fossil-fuel derived electricity.
This is a small but meaningful step in reducing both our own carbon footprint and supporting national net zero emissions targets.
