Solar-powered fire station

Electrical Review Logo

Richmond fire station in Surrey is to become the first solar-powered fire station in the UK as part of a £118,000 energy-saving scheme.

A set of panels in the appliance bay roof will provide up to 23kW of electricity each year, which will more than cover the station’s requirements. Surplus energy will be sold to the National Grid.
