Case Study: Sainsbury's achieves RHI subsidy support for renewable heat with TEAM

Sainsbury's cuts carbon emissions 30% with TEAM

Sainsbury's, one of the UK's largest supermarket chains, had the challenge of meeting its ambitious sustainability target to reduce operational carbon emissions. To help achieve this, the retailer partnered with vendor TEAM (Energy Auditing Agency Ltd.) to leverage their services for the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) application process and heat loss calculations.

TEAM implemented a solution by carrying out all of Sainsbury's Independent Reports on Metering Arrangements (IRMA) and managing their RHI subsidy payments. This support was instrumental in helping Sainsbury's become one of the largest users of biomass energy in the food retail sector and successfully secure its RHI subsidy, strengthening its relationship with the regulator Ofgem.
