EDINBURGH HOTEL TO OPERATE ON E.ON BATTERY

Wednesday, January 16th, 2019

An Edinburgh hotel is claimed to be the first in the UK to be powered by battery. The Gyle Premier Inn at Edinburgh Park has installed a five-tonne battery. It will charge from the national grid in off-peak periods and power the 200-room site for several hours each day. The 3m cubed lithium ion battery will save the hotel £20,000 a year on its energy bill. It is able to power the hotel, including the restaurant, for up to three hours after a two-hour charge. Premier Inn’s parent company Whitbread said the trial of the battery storage technology would help its commitment to halve its carbon emissions by 2025.
