Brakes lights up Harlow with new solar system

Brakes, in partnership with landlord Tritax Big Box REIT Plc, has completed the installation of a new solar panel array at its Harlow site, providing the company with its own source of renewable energy.

The new solar panel system will provide more than 15% of the site’s energy requirement and will save the equivalent of more than 200 tonnes of CO2 every year. It is the latest step towards the science-based targets set out by Sysco, to cut carbon emissions by 27.5% between 2019 and 2030, and to move to 100% renewable electricity.
