- Anesco has successfully energised a 10 MW solar farm for Dragon LNG in the UK.
- The solar park will reduce Dragon’s Scope 2 CO2 emissions by around 2,500 tonnes annually.
Anesco has successfully energised a 10 MW solar farm for Dragon LNG, located at the operator’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire, UK, marking a significant step forward in Dragon LNG’s ambition to make the terminal Net Zero by 2029.
The solar park at the Waterston site has been designed and constructed by Anesco, who will provide ongoing operations and maintenance services to ensure the installation continues operating at its optimum efficiency. The solar park comprises 18,500 solar panels and has benefited from an advanced biodiversity plan that has created habitats for local wildlife and at-risk species.
Energy generated by the solar park will provide around 9 per cent of the terminal’s electricity needs and supply power to neighbouring businesses. It will reduce Dragon’s Scope 2 CO2 emissions by approximately 2,500 tonnes per year.
Dragon LNG Managing Director Simon Ames said, “Energising the solar farm is a significant milestone and the result of a highly motivated team achieving this important project safely. Working with industry partners, educational institutes, and governmental bodies, we are committed to not only playing our part in achieving net zero but continuing to develop local skills and employment opportunities in South Wales for many decades to come”.
