The Water Meadows Leisure Complex
The Water Meadows Leisure Complex is located in Mansfield, UK. The facility was opened in October 1990 at a cost of £8.5 million. It was built on the site of the former Mansfield open-air swimming pool.
In partnership with Serco Leisure Limited, we installed a solar PV system at their leisure complex to support their sustainability goals, helping reduce carbon emissions and advance their journey toward net zero.
The system is expected to provide a 3.3 years ROI and offers the following benefits to the company.
Solar Panel Capacity (kW): 120 kWp
Energy Production Year One: 108,556 kWh
Grid Independence: 17%
Carbon Footprint Reduction: 27 tonnes per year
