The Project
In a visionary move towards embracing sustainable energy practices, Fernhill Care Home has partnered with Empower Energy to embark on a transformative project. This ambitious initiative took a significant step forward on the 25th of October 2022 with the installation of a robust 92.34 KW solar power system on the care home's premises. This strategic decision aligns Fernhill with the global shift towards cleaner and greener energy solutions, underscoring the institution's commitment to responsible and forward-thinking practices.
The comprehensive solar setup, meticulously executed by Empower Energy, has empowered Fernhill Care Home to generate an impressive 67,448 kWh of clean energy annually. Beyond the environmental benefits associated with this substantial reduction in reliance on conventional energy sources, the sustainable initiative has also translated into significant financial savings for Fernhill. The care home is now able to pocket £30,324.28 each year, a tangible and positive impact that not only contributes to the facility's economic well-being but also enhances its ability to further invest in the quality of care provided to its residents.
This initiative signifies Fernhill Care Home's commitment to not only meet the immediate needs of its residents but also to contribute positively to the broader global effort to combat climate change. By harnessing the power of solar energy, Fernhill Care Home has positioned itself as a leader in the care industry, setting an example for other facilities to integrate sustainable solutions into their operations.
The decision to adopt solar technology is not merely a strategic one for Fernhill; it is a reflection of the care home's ethos, emphasizing the importance of sustainability in the caregiving landscape. As Fernhill Care Home continues to reap the benefits of its solar power system, the impact extends beyond the financial savings. The care home is actively shaping a more sustainable future for the elderly care sector, proving that responsible choices can enhance both the well-being of residents and the environmental health of the planet.
