We have some great news to share. Having recently been shortlisted within 2 categories, and in great anticipation, Leisure Energy attended the South East Energy Efficiency Awards dinner last week.

We’re really delighted to have been awarded Highly Commended for the Regional Large Scale Project > £250k at the SE Energy Efficiency Awards. This award was jointly appointed with our partners  Ashford Borough Council and  Freedom Leisure, for energy saving projects at Stour Centre in Ashford, Kent.

With the help of a £1.74m grant from the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS), Leisure Energy helped the Stour Centre install new equipment including PV Solar Panels, an Air Source Heat Pump & LED lighting. Savings of over 600 tonnes of carbon per annum will now be realised.

We were doubly delighted to also receive a Commended award for South East Consultant of the year. Our submission was based on the projects which we have been installing over the last 2 years at leisure facilities in Swansea, Derbyshire Dales, Ashford and Burntwood, focusing on how we work in partnership with Local Authorities and Leisure Operators to lower carbon emissions and future proof  their leisure centres for longevity, and assist them in working towards their net zero targets.

Further to our post for the Large Scale Project award at the Energy Efficiency Awards, we are also proud to announce that we have been shortlisted for the Regional Energy Consultancy of the Year Award for the South East.

We are pleased to announce that we have been shortlisted for a joint award with Ashford Borough Council and Freedom Leisure for the Large Scale Project at the Energy Efficiency Awards.

Leisure Energy has been working in partnership with Ashford Borough Council and Freedom Leisure at The Stour Centre, Ashford on an ambitious decarbonisation project. The aim of the project was to lower the carbon emissions, together with the energy costs at the facility. Upon the Council securing a Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme grant of £1.74m, Leisure Energy project managed the installation of renewable technology and low carbon energy saving equipment at the leisure centre. This included air source heat pumps, solar photovoltaic panels to provide electricity reducing reliance on the grid and low energy lighting with LED lamps to improve illumination levels using daylight sensing controls. Carbon savings at the leisure facility of over 600 tonnes have been realised which is equivalent to the annual heating of 243 homes.
