Shaw Healthcare
Bespoke solar + battery storage retrofitted across two 24/7 care facilities without disrupting residents.
Rising energy costs were increasing pressure on a 24-hour care environment
As one of the UK's largest employee-owned care providers, Shaw Healthcare operates facilities that rely on continuous access to energy for resident comfort, wellbeing and day-to-day care delivery. Rising electricity costs and increasing energy market volatility created an opportunity to reduce operating expenditure while improving long-term energy resilience and supporting wider sustainability objectives.
A bespoke solar and battery storage solution designed around operational demand
Following a detailed assessment of site energy consumption, Nuvolt designed and delivered tailored solar PV and battery storage systems for Shaw Healthcare's Maes-y-Dderwen and Cwm Celyn care facilities. The systems were engineered to align renewable generation with daily operational demand, enabling the homes to generate, store and utilise more of their own energy while maintaining the reliability required within a live care environment.
- Retrofit solar and battery designed around existing 24/7 care buildings
- Installed live without disrupting residents or clinical operations
- Reduces grid reliance and stabilises long-term energy cost
- Supports Shaw Healthcare's wider environmental responsibility commitments
Lower operating costs with greater energy independence
The completed systems are projected to generate approximately 133.09 MWh of renewable electricity annually while reducing carbon emissions by around 29.6 tonnes each year. By combining solar generation with battery storage, Shaw Healthcare can reduce exposure to rising energy costs, improve energy independence and create a more predictable long-term energy model. The project is expected to achieve payback in approximately 2.4 years while continuing to support uninterrupted care delivery.
“From the initial planning stage to the final installation, Nuvolt has demonstrated expertise in the solar and battery storage solution they've implemented. Our relationship with Nuvolt has been instrumental in achieving our sustainability goals.”
