Solar panels installed at Newbold Comyn Leisure Centre
New photovoltaic solar panels have recently been installed on the roof of Newbold Comyn Leisure Centre, providing clean energy to power the building’s swimming facilities.
A grant of £234,000 from phase two of the Sport England Swimming Pool Support Fund was awarded to the Council for the leisure centre - which is operated by Everyone Active - last year for the installation of the panels, which are predicted to save 28.3 tonnes of carbon emissions and provide an energy bill saving of around £31,931 per year.
The government’s Swimming Pool Support Fund provides a total of £60m to local authorities in England who provide public swimming leisure facilities and are feeling the pressure of increasing costs. This is the second round of funding won by the Council from the fund; £165,641 was awarded under phase one towards increased energy costs.
Leisure Energy has acted as Principal Contractor and Designer on the installation and assisted with the funding application.
