The Tracklements Company are a food manufacturer based in the heart of Wiltshire. The company makes an award-winning range of over 60 artisan condiments, from the UK’s first Wholegrain Mustard to the Original Onion Marmalade.
The company is dedicated to sustainable food manufacturing and only use 100% environmentally friendly electricity. In the height of summer the company can operate on 100% ‘home-grown’ electricity generated on-site from their solar PV system. For the winter months, the organisation has partnered with Good Energy to ensure that 100% of the electricity they import and use on-site is both renewable and sustainable.
“We decided to generate our own clean electricity because we wanted to reduce both our operating costs and our impact on the environment. The new system is working really well. We’re very pleased with it.”
Becky Vale – Marketing Director, Tracklements
Task
Tracklements were both looking to reduce their utility costs and be greener to the environment so contacted Solarsense and their green electricity supplier, Good Energy, for advice on how renewable energy could help.
As part of phase one, Solarsense installed a 82kWp solar PV system, providing more than 69,000 kWh of electricity per year. During operating hours 100% of this green electricity was used on-site.
Following the success of their first installation, The Tracklements Company then returned the following year to install another 269 modules to form another 67.25kWp solar PV system as part of phase two. The company is now exploring further options to form phase three due for completion in 2021.
To date the combined clean energy systems are capable of generating more than 64MWh of clean energy per year – which is enough energy to boil 640,000 kettles or to keep your Tracklements ketchup cool in a fridge for 129 years.
