Elgan Roberts, Renewable Energy Project Manager, explains why this project is so important to the National Trust and Penrhyn Castle:
“Penrhyn Castle is a huge property, the largest in Wales and the third most expensive to keep in the whole of the National Trust so finding more efficient, environmentally sound and cost effective ways of heating is essential to safeguarding the property as we look to the future.
Financial benefits
“This project will not only have an obvious environmental impact, saving 80 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year and contributing to National Trust’s target of sourcing 50% of its energy from renewables by 2020, but it will directly benefit the property financially in terms of operational costs,
