SCOTTISH WATER

A Scottish Water site in Perth is now significantly greener, thanks to the installation of an £852,000 solar scheme.

The scheme has seen 1,236 ground mounted PV (photovoltaic) panels installed on the site at Gowan’s Terrace which hosts a Scottish Water office and water treatment works. It is set to generate 0.53GWh of green energy per year - the same amount needed to boil 371,000 kettles.

The renewable energy generated by the solar panels will meet 14.5 per cent of the site’s power usage including the office building, saving 96 tonnes of carbon annually and supporting Scottish Water’s drive to reach net zero emissions by 2040.

The project has been led by Scottish Water Horizons, the public utility’s commercial subsidiary, and delivered by renewable energy specialists Emtec Energy.
