Overview
Project Fire Products Ltd worked with the Green Solutions Programme to enhance energy efficiency, reduce operational costs, and accelerate their environmental ambitions. Through a free Energy Assessment and a Low Carbon Grant, the company was able to implement an LED Lighting upgrade that immediately delivered measurable energy, financial, and carbon benefits.
The Journey
The journey began with the Energy Assessment, which highlighted LED lighting as a cost‑effective opportunity to significantly cut electricity use. With 50% of project costs covered through the Low Carbon Grant, the company was able to proceed far sooner than they otherwise could have, reducing financial risks and accelerating environmental benefits.
Project Fire Products Ltd noted that the process not only enabled tangible improvements but also provided confidence and guidance to make informed, cost‑effective decisions.
“I found the Energy Assessment and Grant application process to be straight forward, clear, and easily accomplished.”
Savings
The grant covered £4,090 of the £8,180 total project cost, reducing financial risk and enabling the upgrade to take place much sooner than would have been otherwise possible. This early implementation accelerated both environmental and operational benefits.
“The Green Solutions Programme has helped Project Fire to continue to lower our carbon footprint thus supporting our environmental policy.”
The new LED lighting is estimated to deliver measurable improvements, reducing electricity consumption by 12,917 kWh per year. These reductions improve operational efficiency and directly support Project Fire Products Ltd.’s long‑term goals to reduce energy demand across the site.
This drop in electricity use translates into substantial ongoing financial benefits of £3,942 saved annually strengthening the company’s financial resilience while supporting a more sustainable model of operation year‑on‑year.
The reduction in energy consumption also resulted in a meaningful cut in emissions of 2.91 tonnes of CO₂ saved annually.
Supporting Staffordshire
The BEAS Programme has helped support Staffordshire businesses becoming more efficient in how they spend their money and how much energy they consume, it has also supported the supply of these projects to be produced by other Staffordshire businesses through the Green Suppliers Directory.
“We, at Total Quality Electrics, have now completed several similar projects in our area upgrading lighting systems. I particularly enjoy showing customers how they can use significantly less power while achieving much higher lux levels. The grants are an excellent initiative, and they go a long way toward reducing the carbon footprint while also saving companies a considerable amount of money.
‘We found that Project Fire Products Ltd were extremely helpful during the project process and ensured that everything was cleared ready for me to carry out the works.” – David Lightbody, Director
By using Staffordshire‑based suppliers, we are playing an important role in strengthening the County’s green economy, supporting jobs, and keeping investment within the area.
