How much surplus energy and money would BEP stand to gain on an annual basis?
How much surplus energy and money would BEP stand to gain on an annual basis?
Based on current wind and solar proposals, the Bretherton Energy Partnership stands to save an estimated £360,000 per year on energy bills from electricity used directly in residents’ homes. If the same energy were sold to the Grid, it would generate an estimated £74,000 per year.
GA Pet Food has proposed that, provided this income is used for the provision of the Bretherton distribution and energy infrastructure, 100 percent may be retained by the community.
GA Pet Food is a large and continually expanding company. Will there always be surplus energy for the energy partnership?

Yes. Due to the variability of wind and solar energy, combined with the natural variations in pet food production and power demand at Plocks Farm, there will always be surplus energy available for Bretherton under the proposal.
