As part of its commitment to achieving net zero, Wernick continues to invest in sustainable technologies that reduce carbon emissions and improve energy efficiency across its operational sites.

Wernick has partnered with SolarCentric, a specialist provider of solar photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle charging solutions, to install rooftop solar systems at two locations in South Wales: Wernick Buildings, Kenfig and Wernick Hire, Neath. The installations allow each facility to generate a significant proportion of its own renewable electricity on site, reducing reliance on grid energy and lowering operational emissions.

Kenfig installation

118 kWp solar PV system
95 MWh of renewable electricity generated to date
Estimated annual carbon reduction: 22.69 tonnes CO₂

Neath installation

65 kWp solar PV system
57 MWh of renewable electricity generated to date
Estimated annual carbon reduction: 11 tonnes CO₂

The collaboration originated through SolarCentric’s sister company, Pursey & Ball, an existing contractor to Wernick Buildings. Following the success of the initial installations, further solar projects are already being planned across additional Wernick locations.

By generating renewable electricity directly at its sites, Wernick is reducing both operational emissions and energy costs while increasing energy resilience. The project supports the company’s wider sustainability strategy, which focuses on lowering environmental impact across operations and supporting the transition to a low-carbon built environment.

Working with partners who share the same environmental ambitions is an important part of Wernick’s pathway to net zero, and the SolarCentric installations represent another practical step towards a more sustainable future.
