Manx Telecom (MT) has announced that it has completed its first ‘Solar Panel Project’.
The project, which took 28 weeks to complete, has seen the installation of 224 solar panels across four elevations on Manx Telecom’s HQ building at the Isle of Man Business Park.
The panels have successfully harnessed 15.3 megawatts of renewable solar energy within the first few months of operation.
This represents a saving of 6,003.9kg of carbon emissions, the equivalent of planting 178 trees, and provided Manx Telecom with around 25% of its HQ energy requirements.
According to MT, about 9% of the clean energy generated was exported back to the grid to provide a renewable energy source to the local community.
Gary Lamb, Chief Executive Officer at Manx Telecom, said: “I am delighted that we have invested in our first solar power project within the group as part of our ongoing sustainability programme.
“At Manx Telecom we are passionate about our community and the environment that we live in. This project is an important milestone and one of many initiatives we have planned over the coming months and years to help reduce our carbon footprint and help safeguard our environment.”
