Case Study: Toyota, Derbyshire
Sector: Automotive
To support Toyota’s global goal of carbon neutrality and manage the rising energy demands of its growing electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure, Geo Green Power installed a 120kWp solar PV system. The installation has been a major success, delivering a 27% reduction in electricity usage and generating approximately 100,000kWh of clean energy annually. By saving roughly 35 tonnes of CO₂ each year, the equivalent of removing seven petrol cars from the road, the project provides the dealership with long-term protection against energy price volatility while securing an estimated 2.5 million kWh of electricity at a fixed, low rate over the next 25 years.
Grants and Financial Incentives
Ilkeston businesses can access financial support to accelerate their transition to green energy. Through Erewash Borough Council sustainability initiatives and regional funds like the Derbyshire Accelerator, eligible SMEs can frequently find match-funded grants for energy-efficiency upgrades and carbon reduction.
Furthermore, the UK government’s Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) and Full Expensing schemes allow companies to deduct 100% of the cost of their installation from taxable profits in the first year.
