GENERATOR POWER PLANT FOR THE FUTURE
Generator Power is committed to a significant program of tree planting, in order to provide carbon capture and support efforts of the climate crisis. These Woodland Creation Schemes involve the planting of native broad leaf species in a way to create wildlife benefits. It is a hope of Generator Power’s that our trees will help promote healthy regrowth of natural habitats and provide crucial support to a healing planet.
In November 2021 Generator Power’s Managing Director, Steve Cardwell, planted 5100 trees at a site near Penrith (photos attached).
Steve didn’t stop there! In November 2022, Generator Power has also invested into a location near Windermere which has had 3000 new trees planted onto the site.
Steve is already looking to the future with an additional site allocated for 5000 more trees in November 2023. Generator Power expects to plant over 5000 trees per year on an ongoing basis as our promise to a healthy Earth. This planting program will result in the sequestration of a very significant amount of carbon. With plans going ahead smoothly, we are on track to sequestrate 2.7 kilo tonnes of Co2 for the 3 sites.
Giving back and rebuilding the environment is a high priority mission for Generator Power as we recognise that our industries’ impact on the planet is harmful and that we all need to make a conscious effort to do better. Because of this, Generator Power made the decision in 2020 to become a corporate member of The Woodland Trust to work with the experts of conservation. Generator Power has since worked alongside The Woodland Trust towards our collaborative goal and will continue to do so indefinitely!
We have also made great strides into investment of new greener technologies that help us run cleaner and more efficient operations. We are continuously adapting to change and lowering our emissions where possible, like how we trial the use of different vehicles including electric, hybrid and ultra-efficient engines; or how we have been building our own onsite renewable energy solutions to power our depots.
Generator Power is continuing investments into greener equipment with a recent purchase of over 50 new battery storage units.
