Travellers Rest Farm - Blandford

Travellers Rest Farm, an active agricultural site in Blandford Forum, sought a long-term solution to manage high electricity usage across its daily operations. In 2014, the farm commissioned Save Energy UK to design and install a solar PV system that would help lower energy costs and support the farm’s transition toward more sustainable practices.
