The Renewable Energy Projects at Central Parks Nursing Home
Woodco Renewable Energy worked with Central Parks Nursing Home to help them switch from fossil fuel heating with a biomass boiler installation & electricity with solar PV panels. This project was delivered in two phases: the first being a biomass boiler installation.
The SEAI provide a guaranteed grant of €21,940 per annum for 15 years. As this biomass boiler was installed part of an Energy Supply Contract (ESCO), Central Parks had no initial capital outlay and they just pay for the heat they use. Under an ESCO model, Woodco avail of the SSRH. An ESCO model is a great way for businesses to decarbonise and reduce costs while not having to have the capital outlay for the biomass boiler system.
The second phase of this project was to install solar PV panels on the nursing homes rooftop reducing their reliance on expensive electricity from the grid. 164 solar panels were erected on multiple rooftop. This saves Central Parks Nursing home approximately €21,000 per annum.
