SWM Member AMW Renewables is working with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to help businesses with large roofs benefit from solar energy for FREE.
AWS have committed to powering their global operations with 100% renewable energy by 2025 and achieving net zero carbon by 2040. To deliver on this, they must create new renewable generation capacity – so they are funding one of the UK’s largest rooftop solar initiatives.
Unlike many solar projects where the power is ideally generated for onsite consumption, AWS are looking for sites with export potential. This means buildings where energy use is relatively modest compared to roof size
Businesses with roof areas big enough for large solar arrays, can benefit in the following ways:
- No capital cost – AWS will fund the full installation,
- Electricity will be supplied at 10p/kWh, materially below market forecasts, and fixed for 20 years.
- AWS will lease the roof space – meaning lease payments for the business,
There is a limited window of opportunity – sites are being identified and qualified in September. If you are interested, get in touch with Jas Bahra at AMW Renewables
