- Codford | Push Power
This was Centrica’s first newly built solar farm, owned and operated as part of their strategy to develop a portfolio of flexible energy assets. It also marked Centrica’s first project with Push Power and was the first large-scale project we undertook following the pandemic. Despite challenges such as global supply chain disruptions, unanticipated material costs, and resource availability, the project was successfully delivered. Sailsbury, Wiltshire. PUSHING PERFORMANCE at CODFORD Back to Solar and Battery Next Case Study Power in Numbers 18200 kW DC Capacity 33000 Moduels 281668.09 Trees Planted Equivalent 6196.7 Tonnes in Carbon Reduction Overview 2022 System Details This project marked Centrica’s first newly built solar farm and their first collaboration with Push Power. It was also the first large-scale project Push Power undertook following the pandemic. The project is owned and operated as part of Centrica’s strategy to develop a portfolio of flexible energy assets. Despite challenges such as global supply chain disruptions, unanticipated material costs, and resource availability, the project was successfully delivered. This project encompassed civil, mechanical, and electrical installation, sub-contracting management, and commissioning. It is a key part of Centrica’s broader plans to build a portfolio of low-carbon assets, contributing to the UK government’s ambitions for a ‘green grid.’ Key Metrics 18.2 MW Codford Solar Farm in Wiltshire: Centrica’s first major solar asset 33,000 panels installed 6196.7 Tonnes in CO₂ savings 19 GWh of green electricity expected annually Plans into action Installation The installation process for the Codford Solar Farm demonstrated the team’s ability to overcome significant challenges while maintaining high standards of safety and efficiency. The project began in March 2022 and was energised in November, following a six-month delay caused by a TX unit hold-up, though key milestone dates remained unaffected. The selection and use of premium quality products and installation methods ensured maximum generation for its 40-year life. The site’s proximity to Stonehenge and the discovery of Neolithic artefacts introduced archaeological challenges, restricting work in specific areas and limiting ground penetration, requiring innovative alternative solutions. Despite these hurdles, the team maintained an impeccable health and safety record with no delays or downtime caused by incidents. Civil and groundworks included a 3km trench dig from the point of connection (POC) to the distribution network operator (DNO) substation at the farm’s edge. Construction took place during the UK’s hottest recorded summer, with temperatures reaching 40.3°C, yet mechanical installation proceeded smoothly and adhered to the original schedule. While there were some commissioning and generation delays, they did not impact the project’s overall timeline, showcasing the team's ability to adapt and deliver under pressure. Performance Overview and Key Efficiency Results Codford Solar Farm has demonstrated exceptional performance , exceeding initial expectations in several key metrics. A detailed comparison revealed that the system’s actual performance exceeded by over 6%. Resilience testing was highlighted as the site endured several significant storms, including Storm Agnes , Storm Bert , and Storm Darragh , without any structural compromise or loss of efficiency. These events highlight the robustness of the installation and adherence to Push Power stringent quality assurance standards. The project’s impact is further strengthened by its biodiversity benefits , contributing to ecological net gain through positive land management practices , including wildflower establishment . Financial Review As part of the Codford Solar Farm's long-term impact, Centrica secured a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) which will secure 50% of the site’s output over the next decade. This collaboration supports their clients sustainability goals, including reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. In 2021, they achieved the milestone of powering its UK operations entirely with renewable energy. Codford Solar Farm plays a crucial role in helping them meet their environmental objectives. Push Power’s role was to install the solar farm, ensuring the delivery of a reliable, efficient renewable energy solution that supports these corporate sustainability efforts.

We track and detail all Health and Safety incidents and are available at any time to our clients. HSSE DASHBOARD Please note this is for indicative purposes only. Site Managers and First aiders on site per operative Workforce Health Management Awareness of mental health in construction has risen significantly over the past few years, thanks to the efforts of organisations and charities making strides in the right direct. We are learning from these organisations, as well as other companies and individuals, to implement similar initiatives and strengthen our approach to workforce health management. Statistics gathered by the Health and Safety Executive paint an alarming picture, underscoring the urgency of addressing mental health challenges within the construction industry and prioritising the well-being of our workforce. Push are committed to prioritising mental health through initiatives such as mental health first aid training, regular wellness check-ins, flexible working arrangements, and access to confidential support services. By fostering open conversations, equipping managers to support their teams, and creating quiet spaces on-site, we aim to build a supportive and healthy working environment for all. What our Clients and Partners say Matt Surmacz, Ricoh UK, | 2021 "Highly recommend to the local business partnerships" 9.4/ 10 Quality of work on-site 9/ 10 Health and Safety Management 9.2/ 10 Communication and Management of Quality 9/ 10 Overall Customer Experience Excavation Excavations create numerous hazards such as but not limited to: falls from height, potential suffocation, drowning, public safety concerns, damage to utilities and foundations. All excavations are carefully planned and risk assessed and authorised only by permit. Lifting Operations We frequently lift loads onto rooftops in populated areas. While all lifts are carefully planned, they carry inherent risks. Lifting only occurs once a lift plan is approved, personnel competence is verified, equipment meets required standards, and the activity is authorised by permit. Manual handling is also common with PV systems, and improper handling of awkward modules can lead to injury Working at Heights This is a routine activity for Push Power, but familiarity must not lower our standards. Even small falls can have serious consequences, so the safe use of a step-up should be treated with the same care as edge protection on a 20m roof. Key components of safe work at height include detailed RAMS, up-to-date training, and serviceable equipment. Electrical Isolation Electrical isolation is a frequent activity on our sites but focus must never be lost on the potentially lethal consequences of not carrying out isolation procedures correctly. Central to safe isolation is locking switches and tagging them or “lock out tag out”. BACK TO TOP Working With the Best Clients and Partners.
