Aqueduct Marina takes another step towards decarbonisation

Aqueduct Marina has taken another step towards decarbonising their operation with the installation of 73kw of solar panels on the workshops and facilities building. The new installation, carried out by TB Electrics, saw 170 highly efficient 440w solar panels being fitted to the main building, which houses the administrative offices, reception and the cafe. A project partly funded by Cheshire East Council.

The installation complemented the existing ground source heat pump and solar tubes on the facilities building that already provide heating and some of the hot water. It is hoped that the combined output of these new panels will reduce Aqueduct’s consumption of electricity from the grid by 20%. The resulting cost savings mean the installation cost is expected to be recouped in around four years.

The new solar panels help the Cheshire-based marina to reduce its carbon emissions even further, something Aqueduct’s MD, Robert Parton, is keen to do after calculating the business’s carbon footprint a few years ago. To enable the marina to reduce its emissions of CO2, the company now uses HVO fuel in all of its vehicles, as well as offering it to boat owners for use in their boats. Hydrogen fuel can also be purchased from the chandlery, and even casual visitors to the marina can make use of the EV chargers located in the carpark.
