Known as the former “Iron Capital of the World,” Merthyr Tydfil
is in the process of transforming itself into a modern commercial
hub and smart city. With the help of Ameresco, the city council
will look to provide solutions across the council’s 31 sites,
including upgrades to the town’s aging infrastructure, optimizing
the lifespan of the existing equipment, installing nine solar pv
systems and 30 LED lighting upgrades, and implementing smart
heating and hot water systems.
Implemented upgrades will reduce Merthyr Tydfil’s energy costs,
cut carbon emissions and improve the internal environment of
buildings for town residents. Once completed, the project is
estimated to save the city £136,000 per year and reduce carbon
emissions from buildings by 251 tonnes per year. Throughout the
survey process, Ameresco adhered to Covid-19 safety protocols to
ensure the safety of Merthyr Tydfil Council staff.
“With over one hundred properties in the council’s portfolio,
and an energy spend in buildings of over £1.2 million per year, the
potential benefits of this project could be significant,” said
Judith Jones, chief officer of planning, engineering, estates and
neighbourhood services at Merthyr Tydfil Council. “We are delighted
to be working with Ameresco as our principal contractor on the
project and look forward to optimising the energy efficiency of our
properties, to improve the condition of our schools, reduce carbon
emissions and save money.”
Improving the well-being and quality of life for Merthyr
Tydfil’s residents is a key component of this energy conservation
overhaul. The project also marks progress toward Merthyr Tydfil’s
goal of reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2030, as outlined by
the Welsh government.
“We are excited to help Merthyr Tydfil reach its goals of net
zero carbon neutrality,” said Britta MacIntosh, Senior Vice
President, Ameresco. “Through our partnership, we hope to not only
cut energy costs, but improve the comfort levels for town staff and
building users.”
Construction is expected to be completed in March
2022.

About Merthyr Tydfil Council
Merthyr Tydfil, one of the most historically fascinating and
beautiful regions of Wales is ideally placed between Brecon Beacons
National Park and Cardiff the Welsh Capital. It was once the most
important town in Wales. Long before Cardiff became capital city
and chief commercial centre, Merthyr Tydfil’s pioneering mass iron
production made it the hub of Welsh industry, a crucible of
innovation and at the very forefront of Britain’s industrial
revolution. Merthyr Tydfil has a wealth of historical and cultural
attractions: the magnificent Cyfarthfa Castle and Park, Parc Taff
Bargoed nature reserve, museums, theatres, libraries, historic
churches and chapels and incredible outdoor activity facilities –
attracting over 1.7m visitors a year. Today’s Merthyr Tydfil is
unbelievably well connected. Its location is one of its many
strengths: at the crossroads of Wales’s major transport routes –
the A470 South to North Wales trunk road and the A465, the main
artery linking Swansea to the Midlands. The effects of climate
change are already having an impact in Merthyr Tydfil. As
Greenhouse gases have increased Merthyr Tydfil has experienced all
of the key symptoms of man-made climate change including erratic
weather patterns, air pollution, heatwaves and changes in
biodiversity. This has also come with associated economic and
social costs as businesses and residents have struggled with issues
like flood damage and interruption to their daily lives. Merthyr
Tydfil Council will be carrying out a number of Decarbonisation
initiatives and projects that reduce the Carbon Emissions of its
operations and impacts on Climate Change.
