RTB Ebbw Vale were seeking support from the Cymru Football Foundation\u2019s Sustainability Fund <\/em>following a substantial rise in their energy costs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Sustainability Fund allowed the club to receive a grant of just over \u00a316,000 to install solar panels on the roof of the changing facilities that will lead to reduced energy bills and in turn, reduce the club\u2019s carbon energy footprint. The club have also committed to re-investing any energy-saving costs back into their facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“We\u2019ve seen a massive reduction in our electric bills since the installation of the solar panels, but the biggest reduction is in our carbon footprint. Since the solar panels were installed, we’ve saved over 1000kg of CO2 emissions which is a great start to achieving our goal as a Net-Zero club.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A huge thank you to the CFF for their support and guidance on this project \u2013 we look forward to working together again in the future.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nGrant Matthews, Chairman, RTB Ebbw Vale<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Funded by Sport Wales \u2013 the CFF\u2019s Sustainability Fund ties into the FAW\u2019s overall Sustainability Strategy, to further reduce the country\u2019s carbon footprint and reduce energy costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
