Ringwood climate group funds new battery to power rugby club
Ringwood Actions for Climate Emergency (RACE) has helped to install the new battery system at Ellingham and Ringwood Rugby Club.
Ellingham and Ringwood Rugby Club just got a little bit cleaner.
Thanks to funding from Ringwood Actions for Climate Emergency (RACE), the local rugby club has installed a new battery system that will help power the club’s facilities and make the club more sustainable.
The battery will help the club reduce reliance on the national grid during peak times by storing energy generated by the club’s existing solar panels, which were sponsored by Smart Home Technical.
By using clean, renewable energy, the battery system is not only helping to lower operational costs but also contributing to Ellingham and Ringwood’s commitment to environmental responsibility.
“We are incredibly excited to be progressing this project,” said Club Treasurer Matt Windsor. “The photovoltaic panels and battery installation align with our vision of a greener future while enabling us to continue providing a fantastic environment for our players, volunteers, and supporters.”
RACE Treasurer Bryony Robinson said: “We are delighted to be able to support projects like this, helping organisations in Ringwood to take steps towards a lower carbon future. This is only possible due to the dedication of our volunteers and the kind donations we receive from members of the public”
RACE is a charity dedicated to taking actions that help the environment and biodiversity. Ellingham and Ringwood Rugby Club has been a cornerstone of the local community since 1966.
