17 Tonnes of Co2 Reduced
In the first year alone, this impactful project is expected to cut CO2 emissions by 17 tonnes, demonstrating a significant step towards Bradford AFC's commitment to sustainability.
The Project Background
The primary objective for the football club was to significantly reduce operating expenses and meet its ambitious sustainability goals. Bradford City, known for its commitment to green initiatives, faced challenges associated with its stadium leasing terms. Short-term leases tend to complicate or even inhibit long-term investments in renewable energy solutions such as solar installations, which are essential for achieving financial and environmental objectives. However, these challenges posed no issue for our experienced team of PPA specialists.
​
At Funded Solar Projects, we specialise in navigating complex contractual landscapes to facilitate solar energy projects. Understanding the intricacies of property leases, particularly those with shorter durations, our team is skilled in designing Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) solutions that align with both the financial constraints and sustainability goals of our clients. By leveraging our expertise as leading PPA specialists, we effectively addressed the concerns associated with Bradford City's stadium lease, ensuring that no prior hurdles impeded their progress towards a sustainable and cost-effective energy solution.
Achieving Sustainable Milestones
The implemented solar system is projected to generate substantial savings for Bradford City, potentially cutting down yearly energy expenses by £10,000 and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 17 tons in its initial year. The power produced not only serves the stadium’s energy needs but also contributes to the national grid when excess is generated.
Project Impact
The implementation of our solar project at Bradford City’s stadium stands as a testament to the transformative power of renewable energy. By harnessing solar technology, we have significantly lowered energy costs for the club and made a measurable impact on reducing carbon emissions.
This initiative not only supports the club's sustainability goals but also serves as a beacon of environmental responsibility in the sports community.
