 Transport for London (TfL) is seeking a delivery partner to work collaboratively to develop purpose-built solar farms to connect to the London Underground network, with opportunities for a broader connection to TfL’s estate. Bidders are invited to participate in a competitive tender, which opened from 31st October.

Following the conclusion of this tender, the appointed delivery partner will design and deliver proposals for solar developments that could bring up to 64 megawatts (MW) of electricity to the network, which is approximately five per cent of the electricity needed to run the Tube network. The project will explore developing and connecting solar infrastructure near the TfL network, facilitating development of assets at scale, contributing to the wider ambition to use 100 per cent renewable source electricity across TfL’s operations by 2030.

By entering into private wire agreements with a dedicated delivery partner, TfL will directly receive zero-carbon electricity from a local facility, bypassing the National Grid’s centralised sources and Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) and reducing pressure on the central electricity grids. In the longer term, private wire schemes could generate financial savings, bypassing some of the costs associated with delivery of power through the National Grid.

TfL is the largest single electricity consumer in London with a demand of approximately 1.6 Terawatt hours (TWh) per year, which is equivalent to the electricity consumed by around 420,000 homes ^[1] or 12 per cent of homes across London. The project will increase solar energy generation, stimulating the market for green jobs and creating greater market security and confidence. By harvesting renewable energy opportunities and working towards 100 percent renewable-sourced electricity, this initiative will help to deliver the Mayor’s target of a net zero carbon London by 2030.

Lilli Matson, TfL’s Chief Safety Health Environment Officer, said: “As London’s strong, green heartbeat, we’re unlocking new ways to make our network and the energy we consume greener. We’re inviting bidders to help us deliver purpose-built solar photovoltaic (PV) farms for the Tube network, in a move to make the energy we use and rely on cleaner, greener and potentially more cost-efficient.

By opening up new opportunities in the energy market and creating green jobs along the way, this is a start of a long-term journey to decarbonise London’s iconic transport system. We want to stay ahead of the curve and make a significant contribution to the acceleration of Great Britain’s grid transition towards net zero.”    

Mete Coban, Deputy Mayor for Environment and Energy, said: “The Mayor has ambitious goals to cut London’s carbon footprint, so powering London’s world-leading transport system with green energy is a clear win-win. Installing solar panels as a source of renewable energy is one of many ways organisations in London can lower their carbon footprint.

Not only will the solar panels help TfL to cut running costs and save passengers money, they will also create green jobs while helping TfL to reduce its carbon emissions.

This is a great opportunity for organisations to work with us as we build a greener, fairer London for everyone.” 

Frank Gordon, Director of Policy at The Association for Renewable Energy and Clean

Technology, said: “We welcome this innovative approach from TfL to procuring renewable power for their network, as well as the wider ambition to use 100 per cent renewable source electricity across TfL’s operations by 2030.

As one of the largest procurers of electricity in the South East this is a considerable opportunity for the solar industry to partner with a leading public organisation and start to roll out innovative solutions for decarbonising our energy supplies. As the UN’s recent warnings on likely future temperature rise make clear, the time for such action is now and has never been more clear both environmentally but also economically, with the spikes in fossil fuel bills in recent times.”

Rosie Allen, Policy Adviser at the Green Alliance, said: “It’s exciting to see this innovation into powering London’s Tube network with solar. TfL is continuing to trailblaze on sustainable transport. Soon the District Line won’t be the only green route on the Tube!”

As part of wider work to drive sustainability across London, TfL is investing in further decarbonising its operations, including transitioning its support vehicles and buses. It continues to work towards the Mayor’s commitment to have a fully zero-emission bus fleet by 2030, which is acting as a catalyst for new production models and is helping to transform the bus industry in the UK.

TfL is working to remove fossil fuels across its buildings, as well as developing wider projects to improve energy efficiency and identify opportunities to generate renewable energy across its estate. Work to procure Power Purchase Agreements, which aims to purchase a significant proportion of TfL’s required electricity from renewable energy sources via the grid is well underway.

TfL is also converting lighting within stations, bus shelters and on trains to LEDs, which use up to 60 per cent less energy than traditional lighting, while achieving around a 10 per cent increase in brightness. Currently, more than a third of Tube stations across London have been converted to LED lighting, and TfL expects to have all bus shelters, including those used in advertising panels, converted to LEDs in the coming months.

For construction projects, TfL is taking an active approach to decarbonisation by recently signing up to the Construction Leadership Council’s Five Client Carbon Commitments. This involves setting out actions under a common framework on how to reduce carbon emissions from its construction activities. The Five Client Carbon Commitments are:

• Procure for low carbon construction and provide incentives in our contracts
• Set phase out dates for fossil fuel use
• Eliminate the most carbon intensive concrete products
• Eliminate the most carbon intensive steel products
• Adopt PAS 2080, Carbon Management in Infrastructure, as a common standard.

TfL is already making progress to include low carbon requirements in our contracts, reducing carbon in major construction projects like Old Street, Neasden and Surrey Quays. TfL also continues to improve processes in early stages of construction and taking a structured, phased approach to decarbonisation, including reducing the 25 per cent of embodied carbon emissions from steel and 20 per cent of the same from concrete materials on site and work towards emission-free deliveries by 2030 and diesel-free sites by 2035.

The TfL Corporate Environment Plan, launched in 2021, explains how TfL will help make London a net zero carbon city by 2030 and achieve the environmental outcomes of the Mayor’s Transport Strategy. TfL is delivering measures to clean London’s toxic air such as the London-wide Ultra Low Emission Zone, the growing numbers of greener buses and zero emission capable taxis.

As the lighting division continues to expand, the new 51,000sq ft site will not only accommodate an increased number of products, but will play a role in helping the company, and Scolmore Group as a whole, to manage its sustainability targets.

Located adjacent to J11 M42, the new warehouse unit – Mercia 51 at the Mercia Park development – has been constructed to the highest levels of specification and sustainability. The whole Mercia Park development has been built at Net Zero carbon in construction, and the Ovia unit is Net Zero ready, BREEAM Excellent and EPC A rated. The new premises also benefits from solar panels on the roof and 10 active EV parking spaces, with passive infrastructure in place for a further 32 and storage for up to 12 cycles.

The relocation of the Ovia warehouse facility is freeing up the original site for other divisions within the Scolmore Group of companies, which are all enjoying continued growth and expansion. As a measure of the increased capacity for stock holding that the new premises offers, the unit is twice as high as the original warehouse.

Mike Collins, Managing Director with Ovia, said: “This is a big move for Ovia and Scolmore Group and an exciting one too. As a proud family business and large employer in the area, investing in Mercia 51 demonstrates to our employees, customers, and the marketplace that we’re committed to the future.”

Mercia Park is one of IM Properties’ first large-scale development schemes to achieve Net Zero in Construction, and Mercia 51 raises the bar further to also be Net Zero Ready. This means the building is optimised so the occupier can achieve Net Zero in Operation.  It has been created to a level of specification which sits within IM Properties’ Sustainable Future’s framework and aligns with the Green Building Council (UKGBC)’s recommendations.

Caleido Tower is a 181-metre (594ft) high, 36-story tower in Madrid, and the seventh tallest building in Spain. The building has met (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification – a framework which consists of various rating systems tailored to different types of buildings, spaces, and communities to assessing the sustainability of a project.

Caleido Tower achieved GOLD which means it ‘serves as exemplary models of sustainability, showcasing the potential for significant environmental impact reduction through thoughtful design and operation’.

The building achieved this by using natural light with the help of an advanced lighting control system by German manufacturer B.E.G. – whose UK headquarters is based in Surrey. Caleido Tower also has facial recognition, intelligently controlled lifts and air filtration and ventilation systems are incorporated.

It is expected that more than three million visitors will visit the 70,000 sqm Caleido complex annually. The project, in the shape of an inverted T, has been divided into four areas: an educational area with 35 floors used by a business school, a wellness clinic, an underground car park, and restaurants and shops.

The technology protocol used in the Caleido Tower was KNX, a globally proven bus system within building automation, which brings together multiple systems enabling the uniform networking and visualisation of intelligent devices.

B.E.G. predominately used the PICO sensor – one of the smallest KNX detectors in the world – for this project due to its size. Despite its diameter of only 33 mm, it has a range for motion detection of 10m transversely, 6m frontally and 4m for seated activities. This means that it detects even the smallest movements, such as the operation of a computer mouse.

In addition to a light output (controllable or switchable) and a slave output for extending the detection range, the B.E.G. PICO also has three HVAC outputs with which energy-intensive systems such as air-conditioning units can be controlled. The light output can be used both as an occupancy detector and as a twilight detector (motion-independent control/switching).

The B.E.G. PICO also has functions such as a temperature sensor, presence simulation, corridor function, orientation light function, short presence and self-adjustment of the follow-up time. The short presence, for example, can save additional energy as the follow-up time is reduced to an adjustable percentage if a room is only entered briefly to fetch an item for example.

Paul Jones, Sales Director of UK & Ireland at B.E.G, said: “Since very large ceiling panels were used, it had to be ensured that the respective panel would not sag over time due to the weight of a detector. Weighing only 14g, the B.E.G. PICO proved ideal and was integrated in all rooms where detectors were planned.

With the help of BIM, the building was digitally modelled in advance – a planning method that is increasingly becoming the standard in the planning of large projects worldwide. In the process, all alphanumeric properties of the planned building are represented. This data is automatically kept up-to-date and gives all parties involved access to the status of the project to ensure the different service combine effectively.

The combination of bus systems can help to save energy costs. In the Caleido Tower, over 15,000 DALI luminaires were installed in addition to KNX, while a gateway was used to control these with KNX. This connected the KNX bus with the DALI bus designed for lighting control.

Each B.E.G. gateway was able to switch and dim up to 64 ECGs in 16 groups, while scene control of individual ECGs is also possible. In addition to RGB and Tuneable White, the gateway also supported DALI-LINK multi-sensors.

In the corridors of the tower, the light is controlled by the B.E.G. PICO depending on daylight and presence. If no more movement is detected, the orientation light switches on. The lighting is dimmed down to a value of 10 percent as soon as the room is no longer occupied.

This state remains permanently until the next movement, or the light is switched off after a preset time without detecting movement again. A calendar function can also be used to implement a night mode.

Especially in large projects such as the Caleido Tower, an orientation light is often used to visually illuminate the building. The lighting of the IE logo on the facade is automatically switched on in the evening by the B.E.G. KNX switching actuator with a calendar function. Individual luminaires are also switched on and off with switching actuators. This is achieved for example, when illuminating screens for presentations.

With the calendar function, the light is automatically switched off at a preset time in the evenings when there are no more classes and, in addition, no movement is detected in the surrounding areas. This affects the refectory, for example, where the B.E.G. PICO only functions as a twilight detector and only regulates the light to the desired brightness depending on the natural daylight.”

The IE Business School was opened in the Caleido Tower in October 2021 in the presence of Felipe VI, King of Spain, and António Guterres, Secretary General of the United Nations.
