GB NRG Completes Landmark Solar Panel Installations for Crendon Timber Engineering
In a groundbreaking move towards sustainability, GB NRG has successfully completed the installation of solar panels across all 15 (soon to be 16) of Crendon Timber Engineering’s branches, creating possibly the largest portfolio of solar photovoltaic portfolio in the UK timber industry. This initiative marks a significant milestone for Crendon Timber Engineering, demonstrating their commitment to environmental stewardship and operational efficiency.
Harnessing the Power of the Sun
The extensive pipeline, boasting a collective capacity of >2MW, spans a diverse array of Crendon Timber Engineering’s sites. These locations include East Harling (Norkolk), St Ives (Cambridge), Hereford, Piddlehinton (Dorset), Glastonbury (Somerset), Castleford (Yorkshire), Nottingham, Washington (Tyne and Wear), Solihull (West Mids), Aylesbury (Buckinghamshire), Bridgend (Glamorgan), Ebbw Vale (Gwent), Wellingborough (Northamptonshire), Wem (Shropshire), and Redditch (Worcestershire). Each site has been meticulously outfitted with tier 1 solar equipment, tailored to maximising energy production and efficiency.

A Nationwide Green Initiative
Crendon Timber Engineering, known for its innovative timber solutions, now leads by example in the green energy sector. The widespread installation of solar panels across their numerous sites showcases a clear commitment to reducing carbon footprints and promoting renewable energy use. This ambitious project serves as a beacon of sustainability within the timber industry and beyond.
The Financial Upside
One of the most compelling aspects of this transition to renewable energy is the substantial financial savings realised by Crendon. The company has significantly reduced its reliance on traditional energy sources, resulting in lower energy bills. This financial prudence not only benefits the company’s bottom line but also sets a precedent for cost-effective sustainability practices in the industry.
A Case Study in Success
Customers had been increasingly asking Crendon for EPDs (Environmental Product Declarations) and carbon reduction plans setting out what they were actually going to be doing as a business to reduce their impact on the environment. When examining sustainability solutions, the installation of Solar PV was an obvious choice in light of the substantial energy demands of the business coupled with large area of suitable roof space.
To highlight the success and impact of this project, GB NRG produced an engaging case study video last year showcasing the technical expertise and collaborative efforts between the two companies.
Meeting Green Credentials
The programme of solar panel installation aligns seamlessly with Crendon Timber Engineering’s sustainability goals. The renewable energy generated from these panels contributes significantly to the company’s green credentials, helping them meet and exceed environmental standards.
Conclusion
GB NRG’s installation of solar panels across Crendon Timber Engineering’s sites marks a significant achievement in the pursuit of sustainability. With >2MW of capacity, this pipeline is a monumental step forward in reducing carbon emissions, saving costs, and setting a new standard for green energy initiatives in the timber industry. As the world moves towards a greener future, Crendon Timber Engineering’s commitment to renewable energy serves as an inspiring example for businesses everywhere.
