A vision for Manor Royal where the energy supply is more sustainable, secure and locally-generated – raising the profile of the Business District, reducing our carbon footprint, and lowering the cost for businesses.
Project details
The Manor Royal BID has partnered with West Sussex County Council and Crawley Borough Council to develop Manor Royal as a Business District that can generate and share its own secure, affordable, and low-carbon energy from renewable resources.
The project benefits from EU and Towns Fund Money to explore the full range of challenges and opportunities to making Manor Royal a model for other business parks in the UK and Europe.
The aim is to increase all forms of renewable energy on Manor Royal and secure the business district’s reputation for innovation in sustainable, low carbon energy generation. Businesses will benefit from cheaper, more secure, low-carbon energy supply protected against price hikes.
What is a LEC?
A Local Energy Community (LEC) is a group of local energy generators, users and other stakeholders who work together to take greater control of their energy supply and management – making it cheaper, cleaner and more resilient. Creation of the LEC is part of the strategy to help Manor Royal businesses progress to net zero operation.
