More power to logistics
SSE Energy Solutions has been appointed to design and install power infrastructure at significant new logistics sites across the country.
INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGNED to ease the transition to net zero will be incorporated in major projects including the Matrix 49 Bristol Logistics Park in Avonmouth; Konect, on the site of the former Kellingley Colliery in West Yorkshire; and the Flagship Park development in Peterborough.
More than 125MVA of infrastructure will be strategically delivered across these developments, including four primary substations connected at EHV to the local grid.
The UK has and continues to see significant growth in the logistics sector, with record levels of investment and demand.
Other sites also being delivered include Panattoni Park, Bristol; the Jade Business Park, County Durham; and the Mountpark Logistics Parks near Hinckley and in Knottingley. Additional sites in Teesside and Scotland will be announced in the coming weeks.
SSE Energy Solutions head of business development Noel Powell, says: “Our ‘Whole System’ approach to energy infrastructure means we can work from the very beginning at the design stage to work out resilient and reliable systems for high power sites including vast logistics parks.
“Electric vehicle charging and on-site generation is key for so many logistics businesses these days.”
