Sustainability in the workplace is a topic that has been gaining traction in recent years. But what does it really mean, and how can we make it a reality? As we move towards renewable energy, it is essential that we engage with the right technology to ensure that we are doing our part to protect the environment. Hybrid systems are becoming increasingly popular as a solution for companies looking to reduce their carbon footprint. Let's work together to make sustainability a priority in the workplace and take action towards a greener future. #sustainability #renewableenergy #hybridsystems #energyconceptsUK #energyconceptsSA #tradcs

Because we pledged in 2023 to maximize our impact on our activities and supply chain, we got stuck in and already managed to achieve one of the sustainability goals we set ourselves for this year: expanding our own energy generation. ⚡ We’ve been fully off-grid for some time now, but those long, dark and unrelenting wet winter months have proved to be somewhat of a climate change test. 🌦 Adding to that, we’ve increased the cooling and heating of our facilities with heat pumps which in turn upped the overall energy demand. Those two factors put together were a severe drain on the otherwise excellent Tesvolt battery storage facility. 🔋 Adding to the solar array on the main building, a grouping of solar panels was fitted to an outbuilding @ Roadtech Services HQ. Opting for another orientation (S) vis-a-vis the main array (E-W) to fully take advantage of the low sun orbit during winter months. ☀ For now, the off-grid system easily meets our production & workshop energy-demands. Very shortly half of our intervention fleet will consist of EV, so more panels are already waiting to go up very soon!

As we move toward a net zero future, it's encouraging to see significant investments being made in sustainability, like National Grid's recent £15m award for three net zero innovation projects under Ofgem’s Strategic Innovation Fund. These projects aim to use digital tools for regional energy planning, maximise the capacity of the distribution network for low-carbon technologies, and develop strategies to reduce reliance on greenhouse gases. Such initiatives not only support the development of a more resilient energy infrastructure but also bring us closer to net zero by benefiting consumers and local authorities, shaping the future of energy on a national scale. 🌱🔋 #sustainability #netzero #innovation https://lnkd.in/d-N_BXa2
