In 2017, BHESCo partnered with Fareshare Sussex, a charity that takes surplus food from local companies and re-distributes it to those who need it.
In order to reduce energy costs and CO
2 emissions, BHESCo designed a new LED lighting system. The project was funded through our Pay As You Save finance model, which enables organisations to pay for a project from resulting savings over a number of years.
Fareshare replaced 98 of its old light bulbs with energy efficient LEDs, which were leased to the charity for eight years. After this time, ownership passes to Fareshare which will then benefit from 100% of the cost savings.
The project has reduced the amount of CO
2 released into our atmosphere by an average of 6.3 tonnes a year. Reduced energy consumption has also saved Fareshare £1,806 a year during the lease period, and will save £9,302 a year once the lease period is over.
