Case Study: The Pirbright Institute cuts energy costs with Centrica Business Solutions CHP

The Pirbright Institute cuts energy use 12.5% and saves £700k a year with Centrica Business Solutions

The Pirbright Institute, a research organization focused on infectious animal diseases, sought to reduce its energy consumption and costs. Centrica Business Solutions implemented a new Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant to address this challenge.

Centrica Business Solutions' CHP solution provides approximately 75% of the site's power needs and uses heat recovery to generate steam, making it over twice as efficient as conventional power. This has resulted in a 12.5% reduction in energy use and annual cost savings of £700,000 for The Pirbright Institute, significantly advancing its goal of a zero-carbon future.
