Introduction
In a significant move towards sustainability and energy efficiency, Savills Investment Management embarked on an ambitious solar energy project with Spirit Energy on their industrial estate on Cathedral Hill in Guildford. Today, the estate is home to prominent tenants such as Halfords, Screwfix, and Topps Tiles, who benefit from the renewable energy solution provided. Over a two-year period, from 2021 to 2023, Spirit Energy successfully installed a comprehensive renewable energy solution across 13 newly refurbished units. The project combined 500 kWp of solar PV capacity with 351 kWh of battery storage, ensuring significant energy savings and carbon footprint reduction for future tenants.
