Operational and strategic benefits
“We were delighted to partner with BasePower on the CHP project which underscores our commitment to keep Lactalis at the forefront of cost competitiveness and environmental performance.”
Mark Taylor, Group Managing Director, Lactalis McLelland
The project was switched on in December 2016. The use of the heat generated by the CHP scheme will significantly reduce the dairy’s grid gas consumption and reliance on the National Grid, and provide a more sustainable use of energy.
The BasePower CHP scheme will reduce the wear and tear on the dairy’s heat-producing assets thereby increasing resilience. In addition, the scheme will be a major driver towards improving the site’s sustainability, reducing emissions by at least 2,000 tonnes of CO2 per year due to improved efficiencies.
