ESP Energy designed and installed two Volter biomass Combined Heat and Power (CHP) units at a cutting-edge leisure and glamping resort based in Shropshire, UK. As part of the site’s commitment to green tourism, these high-efficiency CHP systems now supply both renewable electricity and sustainable heat to lodges, facilities, and communal areas, dramatically reducing the site’s reliance on fossil fuels. The new CHP setup significantly reduces grid electricity consumption and offsets large volumes of LPG previously used for space and water heating. As a result, the site has lowered its carbon emissions, improved energy resilience, and made measurable financial savings, all while enhancing its environmental credentials in a competitive tourism market.
