The challenge: A vibrant venue with high energy demands
The Verwood Hub is a vibrant centre for live music, theatre, art, conferences, workshops and community projects, run as part of the Dorset Council Partnership. As a busy, multi-purpose venue, the hub faces significant ongoing energy demands to power its diverse range of cultural and community activities.
In line with Dorset Council’s commitment to sustainability, the team sought a renewable energy solution that would not only reduce operating costs but also demonstrate environmental leadership to the local community.
The solution: A SolarEdge optimised solar system
To meet these goals, Good Energy designed and installed a 67 kWp SolarEdge optimised solar PV system featuring 194 JA solar panels. The installation harnesses the latest solar technology to deliver optimum performance and reliability.
Generating an estimated 63,508 kWh annually, the system is set to provide annual electricity savings of around £7,990, while reducing the hub’s carbon emissions by approximately 35 tonnes each year.
This investment strengthens Verwood Hub’s position as a community leader in sustainability, showcasing how renewable energy can help cultural venues cut costs, lower emissions, and inspire collective environmental action.
