THE SOLUTION
Installed solar panels, batteries, and back-up gensets running on biofuel
Aggreko was commissioned to provide suitable and efficient power solutions for the entire golf site, which consists of - the Marshall’s compound, TV compound, Entertainment village, Players’ lounge, refreshments bar, European tour office, Royal Majlis, Garden Majlis, Hole 4 screens, 18th green jumbo screen, 15th green hospitality Deck and the 9th & 18th green main hospitality structure.
Using our knowledge and technical ability along with a very good understanding of working on previous golf events we deployed the kit around the whole golf course working with the green keepers and client to cause as little disruption to the golf club whilst it was still operational and with no damage to the golf course.
THE IMPACT
Huge reduction in fuel consumption and carbon emissions
The event successfully was successfully delivered on sustainable energy. The solar panels along with the battery units performed exceptionally, keeping fuel consumption low and CO2 emissions to a minimum.
With the solar gen unit installed, the backup generator on biofuel only ran for approximately 8 hours, where otherwise we would have had at least 2 diesel generators running 24/7 for the entire event. This is a huge fuel and emissions saving, going a long way towards Falcon’s 3-year plan to become GEO accredited.
