Beverley Racecourse has installed a state-of-the-art solar PV installation on its newly rebuilt stables – a significant milestone in its commitment to environmental stewardship and reducing its carbon footprint.
The 26-panel, 14.17kW solar PV system was installed by the Green Building Renewables team from York. Working with Malton-based Transcore, the racecourse’s new stables have been metiulously redesigned to provide modern and comfortable racehorse accommodation.
John Morley, Head Groundsman at Beverley Racecourse said, “The new stables offer incredible facilities for the horses that race here. The racecourse has been a part of Beverley for over 300 years, and installing solar energy on the new stables ensures that we are now ensuring it for future generations. It is a real, local success story to see the new stables built and the solar PV installed by another Yorkshire business from just down the road in Malton and Dunnington, respectively.”
Green Building Renewables MD Chris Delaney said: “The new stables are a real example to other racecourses and sporting venues around the country on how they can future-proof themselves against volatile energy prices and meet environmental targets.”
Transcore Contracts Manager Simon Handley added: “We have built something special at the racecourse. The reconstruction of the stables at Beverley Racecourse demonstrates the commitment of the racecourse to maintaining high standards and providing the best possible care for the horses. It was a great opportunity to work with another local business in helping the racecourse modernise.”
