Solar panels installed at Castle Farm Leisure Centre and Royal Spa Centre in Warwickshire cut carbon emissions by 24.5 tonnes annually

Warwick District Council has completed solar PV installations at two public buildings in Leamington and Kenilworth. Castle Farm Leisure Centre now has 177 panels generating around 80,000 kWh per year, cutting 21 tonnes of carbon emissions annually. The Royal Spa Centre has 62 panels producing roughly 22,000 kWh and saving 3.5 tonnes of CO2 each year. The council used a vertical panel array at the Royal Spa Centre to work around roof structural limits. Combined energy bill savings are estimated at about 14,000 pounds per year. The installations are part of the council's broader push to decarbonize its building portfolio, though the article does not specify total project cost or payback period.
