Building management system
ACC Liverpool have a dedicated account manager that helps them manage their energy use and develop ideas to increase their sustainability.
The Arena and Convention Centre (ACC) Liverpool
We’ve worked with The ACC Liverpool Group for over 9 years, helping them to generate £20,000 to £25,000 worth of renewable energy and save 130 tonnes of carbon every year
The challenge
We’ve been working with The ACC Liverpool Group since it opened. As well as providing all its electricity and gas, we help them make the most of the business opportunities energy provides, turning expenses into sustainable profits.
Since opening, over six million visitors have come through The ACC Liverpool Group’s doors, for over 3,000 events. That demands a lot of energy. As a service business, they rely on everything running smoothly and that extra attention to detail to keep their customers happy.
The results
- £20,000 - £25,000 renewable energy generated each year
- 130 tonnes of harmful carbon gasses saved each year
- One of the most sustainable venues of its kind
E.ON have been our energy provider from day one and they're a huge part of our ongoing drive for ever greater sustainability.
How we did it
In 2015, we installed 925 solar panels which we run and maintain, providing around 5-10% of the venue’s electricity. Now, we’re exploring the potential benefits from solutions like standby generation and ground source heat pumps, as well as sustainable lighting and HVAC systems, for heating, ventilation and air conditioning.
The ACC Liverpool Group also benefit from buying energy flexibly, direct from the wholesale market, through our E.ON Portfolio Solutions service.
Combined heat and power
We use combined heat and power to capture excess heat from one part of the building and recycle it to where it’s needed most.
Solar PV
We installed photovoltaic (PV) panels allowing the venue to harness the power of the Merseyside sun to power their business.
Flexible energy contract
We helped ACC Liverpool get the best deal by introducing them to a more flexible way of buying energy, allowing them to fix costs for longer.
