GSK set to triple onsite renewable electricity generation at Irvine site

GSK has marked the activation of a new 56-acre solar farm and two new wind turbines at its manufacturing site in Irvine .

Irvine is home to one of GSK’s six manufacturing sites in the UK. The large-scale fermentation and distillation required for its manufacturing processes means the Irvine site accounts for nearly a third of GSK’s energy demand in the UK. Zen Cai, Site Director at Irvine, said: "We are incredibly proud of GSK Irvine’s commitment to sustainability, and we are delighted to announce the successful completion of our latest renewables project. Now over half of our site’s total electricity consumption will come from onsite renewables and with this milestone we’re pleased to be making a positive contribution to GSK’s net zero goals.

They were built as part of a project first announced in 2021, where GSK invested through a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement with partner, The Farm Energy Company.
