Congratulations to the BasePower team on making the final shortlist in the annual industry awards organised by the Association of Decentralised Energy.

The BasePower energy centre at the Plastic Omnium Automotive, Edison Road site in Birmingham was shortlisted by judges in the “Heat and Efficiency: Operational” category. The scheme, which has been generating energy since January 2021, was shortlisted for its innovative use of heat, which is provided to the site’s air handling units, paint shops and thermal oil system, an industry first in the automotive sector.

Edison Road is the third energy centre developed and funded by BasePower for Plastic Omnium Automotive in the UK, providing the company with the full benefits of on-site energy generation without having to deploy its own capital or human resources.

The ADE said:
“The award’s ceremony is an opportunity for the industry to come together to celebrate the achievements that have enabled communities and businesses to thrive. Each year, the standard of applications increases, and the judges are increasingly impressed by the quality and diversity of projects that are presented to them.”

The winners will be announced at the ADE’s annual gala dinner at the Hurlingham Club, London on Wednesday 15th June. Follow the ADE on LinkedIn to track the winners.
