Mace<\/a> has been chosen by West Berkshire Council<\/a> to deliver project management services for a solar energy scheme in the region<\/h2>\n

Under the commission, Mace will manage the design, supply, installation and commissioning of rooftop photovoltaic (solar) electricity generation systems at six locations across West Berkshire.<\/p>\n

The pilot project is expected to generate around 600,000kWh of energy and reduce carbon emissions<\/a> by 270 tonnes a year.<\/p>\n

The solar energy scheme forms an integral part of the council\u2019s wider plans to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030, and is the first of its kind in the UK.<\/p>\n

Delivered by the council as part of a Community Municipal Investment (CMI), the project will offer residents a unique way of investing directly into the district\u2019s green energy<\/a> future.<\/p>\n

Mace secured the project management role through the Crown Commercial Services Heat Networks and Electricity Generation Assets (HELGA) framework.<\/p>\n

Mace will bring a holistic approach to the project, using its blend of project management capabilities, energy sector expertise and own corporate commitment to achieving net-zero carbon.<\/p>\n

Carbon neutrality ambitions<\/h3>\n

Javid Khaliq, business unit director for energy & utilities at Mace, said: \u201cAs an organisation with our own progressive environmental aspirations, the impact this project will have on reducing carbon emissions makes it an especially pleasing win for Mace, and I\u2019m delighted that we are able to help West Berkshire Council work towards its carbon neutrality ambitions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis project serves as further evidence of Mace\u2019s capabilities in the renewable energy<\/a> space and is a symbol of our commitment to driving forwards green solutions that benefit not just the environment, but the communities that live there.\u201d<\/p>\n
