Prolectric marks carbon savings milestone
15 January 2024
Prolectric has started the new year in celebratory mood by marking a significant milestone in savings it has delivered for customers using its renewable lighting and power equipment.
Since launching its first solar lighting tower, Prolectric has now saved users 27 million kilograms of CO2 and reduced diesel usage by more than 10.2million litres. This represents a customer saving of more than £10 million.
The company supplies its sustainable solar lighting and solar hybrid power generators across a wide range of industries including hire, construction, housebuilding, the MOD and rail and major infrastructure projects. The products incorporate advanced automation software to ensure that they work all-year round, whatever the conditions.
This provides a practical way for businesses to achieve their carbon-reduction commitments, enabling the switch from fossil-fuelled and mains powered systems, with a comprehensive range of direct like-for-like diesel replacements.
Rachel Preen (pictured above), Managing Director of Prolectric, said: “Reaching a solar saving milestone of £10 million for our customers couldn’t be a better way start the new year.
“For those businesses who have joined the solar revolution and are now some way into their journey, to see it paying dividends brings additional confidence and adds even more power to our collective cause.
“Whilst solar energy solutions are being adopted at pace across the UK, there remains a significant job to do, to clearly convey the value proposition that renewable power solutions offer.
“We are equally encouraged by the recent COP28 and the first global pledge deal urging industries to move away from the use of fossil fuels. As the world wakes up to the need to find alternatives to diesel, we are able to provide support from our years of experience, robust performance data and fiscal proof to show that switching to solar makes good environmental and commercial business sense.”
Prolectric has developed an online savings calculator to help businesses assess the carbon and cost reductions they could make by switching from diesel to solar powered products, as reported previously on the blog.
