Green Shield Group begins installation at Foxfields Hotel in Clitheroe

Lancashire-based renewable energy firm continues to lead the way in sustainable hospitality solutions

Renewable energy provider Green Shield Group has announced the installation of a solar PV system at Foxfields Country Hotel in Clitheroe, marking a major milestone in the hotel’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency.

The 110 kWp solar PV system, which is currently being installed on the roof is designed to significantly reduce the property’s carbon footprint whilst cutting long-term energy costs by almost £25,000 in Year 1. The installation which is set to complete in June will reduce the hotel’s reliance on grid-supplied energy by 25% and is set to reduce the hotel’s carbon emission by almost 21,000 kg CO2 in the first year.

Chris Ridehalgh, Green Shield Group said: “We are so pleased to be working with Foxfields Hotel, just around the corner from our offices in Ribchester. We believe that businesses in all sectors, including hospitality, can benefit from renewable technologies. This installation is a testament to the hotel’s forward-thinking approach and commitment to reducing its environmental impact.

“It’s a great project to work on and we are looking forward to seeing the finished result.”

This appointment comes on the back of a strong start to 2025 for Green Shield Group with installations completed for Greggs, Crowne Plaza London Docklands and Marsden Building Society.
