The Background

For over 30 years, Lancashire Farm Dairies has been a proud staple of the UK dairy industry, producing high-quality yoghurt from their base in Rochdale. As a business with high energy demands, Lancashire Farm Dairies recognises the need to balance operational efficiency with sustainability. Keen to reduce costs, lower their carbon footprint, and enhance their green credentials, they sought a solution that would future proof their energy strategy while reinforcing their commitment to responsible production.

The Solution

Perfect Sense Energy designed and installed a 201.6kW Solar PV system, tailored to the site’s storage and logistics warehouse’s energy consumption needs. The system enables Lancashire Farm Dairies to generate clean, renewable energy on-site, reducing their reliance on grid electricity and lowering operational costs. The system we designed is set to provide around a quarter of the site’s total 24/7 energy consumption, reducing reliance on external energy providers.

The Results & Feedback

The system at Lancashire Farm Dairies will save over £40,000 in year 1 alone, plus tax savings and export income. With a 34% ROI, this is a strong business case with immediate financial benefit. By investing in renewable energy, Lancashire Farm Dairies is not only cutting costs but also taking a proactive step toward a more sustainable future. Their commitment to clean energy sets a strong example for their industry. Sarfaraz Akram, Lancashire Farm Dairies’ COO, said ‘Perfect Sense Energy’s expertise and commitment to sustainability made the process smooth and hassle-free. A great investment for our business and the planet!’.
