Operational and Strategic Benefits
"Another benefit was no capital investment; this was all part of the BasePower deal which was a big upside for us a business."
Mark Perrins, Site Director, Plastic Omnium Measham
The project at Plastic Omnium is providing substantial savings on energy that would otherwise have been supplied from the electrical and gas grids, and has reduced peak summer cooling demand. A reduction of 250 tonnes in CO2 emissions was also achieved in the first full year of the scheme’s operation.
Mark Perrins, Site Director at Plastic Omnium Measham said:
"We have achieved and exceeded the targeted savings for electricity usage and heat so that has been great. Another benefit was no capital investment; this was all part of the BasePower deal which was a big upside for us as a business. Our CO2 footprint has also been considerably improved through the project.”
BasePower on-site energy schemes have since been rolled out at other Plastic Omnium UK sites including Hams Hall and Warrington. We continue to build on a close liaison to identify opportunities for heat infrastructure refurbishment, to further enhance efficiency and carbon savings.
