Two of north-east UK“s leading green energy firms are collaborating on a project to create the largest solar panel installation in the region. Specialist glassmaker Romag has commissioned Cleaner Air Solutions UK, of Meadowfield, Durham, to fit photovoltaic (PV) panels to its factory in Consett, County Durham. The work, scheduled for completion before Christmas, will bring more than half a megawatt of solar power capability to the plant. Cleaner Air Solutions, which has received backing from Renew, the North-East“s low-carbon and environmental technologies agency, has been undergoing a year of continuous growth. In the past three months alone, the company has secured new business worth about GBP 5 million, which includes a contract to install PV panels to 1,000 houses across the North-East. Renew works with businesses, communities, investors, regulators and technology suppliers to help low-carbon energy projects go from development to the marketplace, which led directly to the collaboration between Romag and Cleaner Air Solutions. John Barton, project director of Renew, said: Cleaner Air Solutions is a great example of how the North-East is becoming a renewables hub. It has been a pleasure to support the company as it has grown and developed over the past four years and it“s a great model of success for the region. We would encourage any business, regardless of size or experience, to contact us if they have a low-carbon or environmental technology concept or project that we can support and help make a commercial reality.
