The contractor has installed a total of 1,625 photovoltaic roof panels on four new buildings, which will produce 413,307kWh of electricity annually, saving the base almost £58,000 per year.

Paul Weale, Project Director for Skanska, said: "Skanska recently announced its commitment to achieving net-zero carbon emissions on its projects by 2045, including its supply chain. It's a core part of our whole approach to construction. The initiative to install solar panels at Worthy Down demonstrates how being environmentally conscious and cost conscious can be entirely aligned."
Skanska's work at Worthy Down is part of a two-part scheme which forms Project Wellesley. Skanska is also a partner in the second part of the project, the development of a new community called Mindenhurst at the former Princess Royal Barracks in Deepcut, Surrey.
