Cold-store logistics company turns to solarPV

To help Cold Move, which specialises in temperature-controlled storage and distribution, work towards its target of reducing its carbon footprint by 25% by 2020, Eco Environments has installed nearly 1700 Hyundai solarPV panels at two sites. The installation of 1077 panels with an output of 250 kW at the depot in Golborne, Warrington, is Eco Environment’s largest commercial project to date. It was followed by the installation of 600 panels with an output of 150 kW at Cold Move’s headquarters in Oswestry.

James Woodward, Cold Move’s managing director, said, ‘Eco Environments has successfully delivered two major installations of solar PV for Cold Move. We are firmly committed to a renewable-energy strategy, and we are already seeing the environmental and financial benefits of our investment in Oswestry and Golborne.’
