A hospital trust in Surrey has secured £6 million in funding to install solar panels and energy storage systems across its facilities.

Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust will place 4,000 solar panels at Frimley Park Hospital in Surrey Heath, Wexham Park Hospital in Slough, and Heatherwood Hospital in Ascot.

This initiative aligns with Labour’s plan to establish a government-run renewable energy investment body to deliver clean energy by 2030.

James Clarke, chief strategy officer at Frimley Health, described the funding as “fantastic news” for both the trust and the local communities, emphasizing its role in significantly lowering carbon emissions and reducing energy costs.

According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, the trust aims to cut its carbon footprint by 50% over the next five years as part of its sustainability efforts. Additionally, Frimley Health is undertaking a broader environmental programme, which includes replacing around 9,000 light bulbs at each hospital.

Plans are also in place to rebuild Frimley Park Hospital at a new location, with construction expected to begin between 2028 and 2029. The hospital, which consists largely of deteriorating concrete, has been prioritized within the government’s new hospital programme. A preferred site is set to be announced in May, as informed to Bracknell Forest Councillors earlier this month.

Jack Ayre

Born in North West England, Jack kicked off his career in the insurance arena, dealing with claims for three years. Always up for a challenge, Jack leapt out of his comfort zone and embarked upon 5 years of excitement with the military.

Working for the Ministry of Defence, Jack specialised in counter-terrorism which took him to places such as Dubai, Oman, Iraq, Norway and Bahrain. During this period he worked with various Governments implementing strategic operations to prevent terrorism.

After travelling around various countries Jack increasingly came across various forms of solar from large solar farms to domestic solar panels. From here Jack took a keen interest in all things solar and started reading about the technological capabilities with a view to entering the industry after his career in the Ministry of Defence.

Once home after 5 fruitful years, Jack had 3 months leave in which he immersed himself in a solar crash course and got applying for jobs within the solar sector. He came across ESE Solar, a long-established forward-thinking company whose head office was only a stone’s throw away from him. He picked up the phone to see if there were any vacancies and within a week had a successful interview and obtained a full-time job, starting in the technical team.

Within the first few months, Jack onboarded in various online courses during work and social hours to speed up his knowledge of all things solar. Due to his strong work ethic and thirst for knowledge Jack was promoted to Head of Technical at ESE Solar. He currently leads the team and oversees the product development of new technologies within the company alongside assisting where necessary on their maintenance department.
