The £250m Bridgwater Tidal Barrier scheme in Somerset is undergoing a 12-month test to evaluate the potential of powering off-grid sites using a combination of solar panels, hydrogen fuel cells, and battery storage. From January to April, the system generated 16,000 kWh of clean power, with solar contributing 6,600 kWh, hydrogen 9,100 kWh, and only 300 kWh drawn from backup batteries. The trial has already demonstrated significant environmental benefits, saving 20,000 litres of diesel and avoiding 53 tonnes of CO₂e emissions. This achievement is equivalent to driving 195,000 miles in a diesel car or taking 350 flights from London to Glasgow. Besides the environmental impact, the initiative has successfully reduced noise levels and eliminated the risks associated with diesel spills. Jo Driffield, a senior engineer at the Environment Agency, praised the trial as a major step towards achieving net-zero goals and emphasized the importance of green hydrogen in decarbonizing the construction industry. TCP Group provided the hybrid power system for the project, with Managing Director Andrew Barker highlighting its potential to shape future energy practices. Kier, a key player in the project, emphasized the collaborative effort in the industry to cut emissions and promote sustainable practices across the supply chain. The success of this project showcases the potential of innovative green energy solutions in reducing carbon footprint and advancing sustainability in the construction sector.
