Sustainability at the heart of world-class research

Over the years, Wilson Power Solutions supplied 26 transformers to the University of Warwick, 24 of which were ultra and super low-loss amorphous transformers in different ratings from 500kVA up to 2500kVA. Upgrading to Wilson e2 and Wilson e3 meant that the university decided to install efficient transformers beyond the Ecodesign specifications. Comparing the regulated industry standard transformers and the Wilson lower loss transformers, the University of Warwick saves annually 369MWh. Over the lifetime of these transformers (30 years), they will have saved the university 11GWh of electricity, 3,043 tonnes of CO2 emissions and over two million pounds of financial savings.

Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research Building

The Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research Building at the University of Warwick was inaugurated in March 2021 on the university’s Gibbet Hill Campus. A multi-million pound investment was put into this building to equip it with state-of-the-art laboratories and equipment to investigate the mechanistic origins of diseases in cells and tissues to enhance well-being and extend healthy life spans. IBRB is one of the most environmentally sustainable buildings on campus, acting as the epitome of the university’s Net Zero plans and pledges set to act on the climate emergency. The centre has solar photovoltaic panels and has installed a Wilson e3 Ultra Low Loss transformer, which will help mitigate 109 tCO² emissions over 30 years of operation.
