venues create the right
kind of energy.
Helping our customers.
We’re on it.
The ACC Liverpool Group operates the
city’s leading venue, comprising the 11,000
capacity Echo Arena, the award-winning
BT Convention Centre and Exhibition Centre
Liverpool.
As well as being the only purpose-built interconnected arena,
convention and exhibition centre in Europe, The ACC Liverpool
Group also operates one of the most sustainable venues of its
kind. Gerald Andrews, Finance Director at The ACC Liverpool Group,
explains:
“Being a sustainable venue has been vital to us from the outset
and it’s one of the reasons we’re with E.ON. We’ve been with them
for eight years and they’ve always provided us with a total energy
package rather than simply supplying energy.
“Their expertise and insight have helped us cut
our energy costs and improve our environmental
credentials significantly, by managing our energy
consumption in a smarter way and installing a
wide range of energy efficiency measures.”
“Now, they’re even helping us to generate our own renewable
energy with solar panels. As a result, we’ll save around £20,000
off our energy bills and lower our carbon emissions every year,
for at least the next 20 years. That’s an incredible saving and a
huge step forward in terms of being a truly sustainable venue,
demonstrating our commitment to the environment, clients and
visitors.
“E.ON installed 925 solar photovoltaic panels on the roof of our
new 8,100 square metre Exhibition Centre Liverpool, which will
generate around 250,000kWh hours of renewable electricity every
year – enough to power 78 UK homes*. The energy will be used
across our three venues, to power everything from exhibitions and
conferences to banquets, concerts and sporting events, as well as
our new four-star, 216-room Pullman Liverpool Hotel.
“E.ON specialises in providing organisations like ours with tailored,
end-to-end energy solutions. In our case we wanted to save
energy and become as sustainable as possible, and that’s what
E.ON has helped us achieve. They’ve been our energy provider
from day one and now they’re a huge part of our ongoing drive
for ever-greater sustainability.”
