Supplied and installed LED solutions across 17 UK MoD sites.
Across UK Government ministries and organisations, against a backdrop of tightening budgets, senior management have been increasingly under pressure to cut costs generally coupled with a need to implement strategies to reduce carbon and ultimately meet new Net Zero targets.
The Government (BEIS) described the installation of LED lighting as “a no-regrets measure” and has for some time been encouraging all government bodies to accelerate retrofit programmes. In 2016 the Ministry of Defence initiated a programme of LED lighting upgrades through the Defence Infrastructure Organisation’s (DIO) hugely successful Spend to Save energy programme.
The decision to use Energys products was based primarily on their short payback period, and between 2013 & 2016 Energys surveyed supplied and installed LED solutions across 17 sites in the UK. The total value of the project was just under £8m with an ROI of 2.5yrs. The project was agreed on the proviso that all the sites would be completed within 6 months.
